Shahid Afridi makes yet another historic record of T20 international cricket

SHARJAH: Shahid Afridi has made yet another historic record for Pakistan.

Afridi became the first ever Pakistani to bag 300 T20 wickets.

Afridi, 38, reached the milestone during his team Karachi Kings’ PSL league match against Islamabad United.

His 300th scalp came after a quicker delivery that smashed into Chadwick Walton’s stumps, with the triumphant spinner celebrating the feat in his trademark style.

Afridi is only the 4th player in the world to have completed 300 wickets in the shortest format of the game.

He joined West Indian DJ Bravo, Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga and another spin magician from West Indies Sunil Narine in the club of 300 T20 wickets.

Afridi, who has represented 20 different teams in T20 leagues around the world, completed 300 wickets in his 273rd match.
