After 82 games, the 24-year-old took his 97th wicket. His 84th game was today. Umar Gul’s record of 85 wickets in 98 outings for the format was beaten by Afridi.
Saeed Ajmal, who has also collected 85 wickets in his T20 career, is listed second while Gul is third. Meanwhile, Haris Rauf holds down the fifth spot with 70 kills.
