The Afghan legspinner, known for his deceptive variations, achieved this milestone in his 461st T20 match, having taken 633 wickets at an average of 18.07 and an economy rate of 6.49. His journey from his debut in 2015 has been nothing short of spectacular, playing across various leagues worldwide.
Khan's record-breaking moment came when he dismissed John Turner, caught by Dewald Brevis, in the 17th over. His celebrations were subdued, perhaps due to his team's struggle in the match, but the achievement marks a significant milestone for Afghan cricket.
He now stands ahead of Bravo, who had 631 wickets from 582 matches, and also above spinners like Sunil Narine and Imran Tahir. Khan's milestone is not just a personal triumph but a testament to his dedication and skill, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of T20 cricket. His record underscores his status as one of the most effective bowlers in the shortest format of the game.
