Fazalhaq Farooqui: The Afghanistan team faced disappointment in the semi-final match. However, the team's fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi has created history. He became the first bowler in the world to take the most wickets in a single edition of T20 World Cup history.
Before Farooqi, this special record was registered in the name of Sri Lankan veteran spinner Vanindu Hasaranga. He performed his best in the year 2021 by taking 21 wickets. In the current season, Fazalhaq Farooqi managed to take a total of 17 hits. With this, he has become the first bowler to take the best wicket in a single edition of T20 World Cup history.
In today's match, Fazalhaq Farooqui achieved this feat by dismissing the best batsman of the opposition team, Quinton de Kock. The third and fourth positions in the special list are also occupied by Sri Lankan cricketers. These two players are Ajantha Mendis and Hasaranga. Mendis had 15 hits in 2012. Hasaranga also took 15 wickets in 2022.
The name of Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh comes at the 5th position. Arshdeep has already taken 15 wickets in the current tournament but if he manages to take 3 wickets against England in today's match, then he will achieve this special feat. Currently he is at the 5th position.
