Haris Rauf has created history. He has become the first bowler to jointly take the most wickets in T20 International cricket for the Pakistan cricket team. 31-year-old Rauf achieved this special feat by taking four wickets in the second T20 match against Australia. Rauf now has 107 wickets to his name while participating in T20 International cricket for Pakistan.
Mohammad Rizwan can keep fast bowler Naseem Shah out in this match. He proved to be very expensive in the last match. Along with Naseem Shah, Hajibullah Khan and Irfan Khan may also be benched.
Rauf Equals Shadab Khan’s Record
Apart from him, former captain Shadab Khan, who is currently out of the team, has also taken 107 wickets. It is expected that soon Rauf will leave Shadab behind and become the first bowler to take the most wickets in T20 International cricket for Pakistan. According to the rules, Haris Rauf has left Shadab Khan behind.
