Rashid is the first to score 700 wickets in 20 over cricket

February 17, 2026
Rashid Khan, the captain of Afghanistan, has reached an incredible height of 700 wickets in T20 cricket as the first cricketer in the world to reach the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday.

Before the start of the match, Rashid had 699 wickets in his possession, making his 700th hunt by taking a ‘hit wicket’ to UAE batter Muhammad Arfan in the 16th over of the innings.

However, he has to wait a bit for this achievement. 

In the last match against South Africa, he took 699 wickets and today he got the desired wicket in the last 4 balls of his quota, but he was seen celebrating a lot in this historic moment with the team's heading up.
