Rashid Khan
Rashid reached the landmark by dismissing Zimbabwe wicketkeeper-batter Tadiwanashe Marumani, who scored just two runs while chasing a target of 222. The 200-wicket milestone further extended Rashid’s lead at the top of the all-time T20I wicket-takers’ list. He made his international debut against Zimbabwe in October 2015 and became the format’s leading wicket-taker in September 2025, overtaking New Zealand’s Tim Southee during a tri-series match against the UAE in Sharjah.
