Pakistan’s left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi became the fastest bowler to score a century of wickets. Shaheen achieved this honor in the 51st match of his career by dismissing Bangladesh’s Tanzid Hasan.
In the World Cup match played against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Shaheen Afridi walked Tanzid Hasan on the fifth ball of the first over and set a record for the fastest wicket-taking century by a fast bowler.
Shaheen Afridi won this honor in his 51 matches. Earlier, Australia’s Mitchell Starc had taken 100 wickets in 52 matches.
However, the world record for the fastest century by wickets is held by Nepal spinner Sandeep Lemchane. He has taken 100 wickets in 42 matches.
