The left-arm pacer achieved the feat during Bangladesh\u2019s Asia Cup Super Fours clash against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where he dismissed Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav to reach the landmark. In doing so, Rahman surpassed Shakib Al Hasan\u2019s tally of 149 wickets to claim the record for Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The achievement places Mustafizur among the greats of T20I bowling. Rahman is only the fourth bowler in the world to register 150 wickets in the shortest format of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Afghanistan\u2019s Rashid Khan leads the chart with 173 wickets, followed by New Zealand\u2019s Tim Southee with 164, while Ish Sodhi and Rahman are tied on 150 each. Surpassing Shakib, who had long been Bangladesh\u2019s flagbearer in international cricket, underlines Mustafizur\u2019s consistency and impact across a decade of T20I cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rahman\u2019s overall numbers in T20Is highlight his importance to Bangladesh\u2019s bowling attack. He reached the 150-mark in his 118th match, boasting an impressive bowling average of under 21, coupled with an economy rate just above 7.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Known worldwide for his clever variations and mastery of the cutters, Mustafizur is one of the few bowlers to have multiple five-wicket hauls in T20Is, with two to his name. He has also registered three four-wicket hauls, further underlining his match-winning ability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
