Haris Rauf achieves major milestone with double-wicket over against Canada, becomes fastest Pakistan bowler to achieve this feat

Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf created history with a double-wicket over against Canada in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Rauf became the third-fastest in the history of T20Is to take 100 wickets. The Pakistan speedster achieved this feat in his 71st game. 
 

He is the second Pakistan bowler to complete 100 T20I wickets. Leg-spinner Shadab Khan was the first to complete 100 wickets for Pakistan in the format. 
 

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan is the fastest to 100 T20I wickets from 53 games. He is followed by Sri Lankan leggie Wanindu Hasaranga who crossed the 100-wicket mark in the 63rd appearance. Rauf left behind Ireland's Mark Adair and Oman's Bilal Khan who took 72 games to take 100 T20I wickets.

Rauf comes back well

Rauf achieved the feat in the 10th over of Canada's innings after Babar Azam won the toss and opted to field first. He made Shreyas Movva his 100th T20I scalp. Later in the over, he got Ravinderpal Singh for a two-ball duck. Despite conceding 13 runs in his first over, Rauf finished with 26 runs from his quota of four overs.
