Shakib Al Hasan, T20 World Cup

Bangladesh’s veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan on Saturday, became the first to take 50 wickets in the Men’s T20 World Cups.

The left-arm spinner achieved the feat in his side’s T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight match against India when he dismissed Rohit Sharma in the fourth over of the first innings.

Shakib, however, had a tough outing with the ball against India as he conceded 37 runs in three overs.

  • Shakib Al Hasan: 50 wickets
  • Shahid Afridi: 39 wickets
  • Lasith Malinga: 38 wickets
  • Wanindu Hasaranga: 37 wickets
