Nabi breaks Shakib’s record in defeating Pakistan
Nabi took 2 wickets for 20 runs in Afghanistan’s 18-run win over Pakistan in the tri-series in Sharjah yesterday. In this, this experienced all-rounder became the second Afghan cricketer to reach the milestone of 100 wickets in international T20s. You may know who was the first. Rashid Khan, the first Afghan cricketer to take 100 wickets in international T20s, now has 167 wickets. This leg-spinner is now the highest wicket-taker in international T20s. However, Nabi is one place ahead of Rashid. Rashid, like Nabi, does not have more than 2,000 runs in international T20s. Nabi’s runs in this version are 2,246. Nabi is the second cricketer to take 2,000 runs and 100 wickets in international T20s. The first is Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib set this record in 2022, meaning Nabi surpassed Shakib yesterday. Shakib, who retired from T20, has more runs and wickets than Nabi. Shakib’s runs in T20 are 2551, wickets 149. Shakib’s wickets are also much more than Nabi’s in recognized T20s. Shakib’s wickets are 503 in recognized T20s, while Nabi’s are 387. Shakib recently became the fifth bowler in T20 history to reach the milestone of 500 wickets. Shakib is the only cricketer in history to have achieved a ‘double’ of 7,000 runs and 500 wickets in this version. If the double is reduced to 500 wickets and 5,000 runs, Shakib becomes second. Apart from Shakib, only West Indian Dwayne Bravo (6970 runs and 631 wickets) has 5,000 runs and 500 wickets in recognized T20s.
Nabi’s runs in recognized T20s are 6405. The way he is playing now, he will surely achieve more feats!
