Today evening, while playing for Khulna Tigers against Chattogram Challengers in the Bangladesh Premier League, a Pakistan bowler took four wickets in the match and entered the 400 T20 wickets club where he joined the legends of the game.
Wahab Riaz, one of the legends of Pakistan cricket, achieved a remarkable feat today while playing in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). This left-arm pacer who has already retired from international cricket and plays in domestic leagues all over the world won his team the match along with reaching an amazing milestone.

Wahab Riaz while playing for Khulna Tigers took 4 wickets for 36 runs in his bowling innings which helped his team to stop the opponents at a less score. His team chased the total easily and with seven wickets to spare.
His four-wicket spell today has helped him reach the 400-wickets mark in T20 cricket. T20 cricket here means whatever type of T20 he has played in his career, be it domestic matches or international matches. He is now a part of the Elite list which contains many players.
The players who have more than 400 T20 wickets to their name are Dwayne Bravo, Rashid Khan, Sunil Narine, Imran Tahir, Shakib Al Hasan, and Wahab Riaz.
The top 10 players who have most T20 wickets are as follows:
S.NO. | NAME | WICKETS |
1 | DWAYNE BRAVO | 614 |
2 | RASHID KHAN | 496 |
3 | SUNIL NARINE | 474 |
4 | IMRAN TAHIR | 466 |
5 | SHAKIB AL HASAN | 436 |
6 | WAHAB RIAZ | 401 |
7 | LASITH MALINGA | 390 |
8 | SOHAIL TANVIR | 389 |
9 | ANDRE RUSSELL | 385 |
10 | SHAHID AFRIDI | 347 |
Wahab Riaz is still playing in T20 leagues all over the world and therefore has a chance to cross the 500-wickets mark too if he plays consistently and works on his fitness.
