The 24-year-old leg-spinner removed England batter Harry Brook for his 98th T20I wicket. He equaled Afridi’s 97 wickets and became the joint-highest wicket taker during Pakistan’s clash against Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval.

Gul stands third on the list and is followed by Saeed Ajmal who has also taken 85 wickets during his T20 career. Haris Rauf, meanwhile, takes the fifth positions with 70 scalps.
