Shadab Khan Currently has 84 t20 international wickets to his name, and is on pace to be the first Pakistani to get 100 t20 international wickets

Shahid Afridi who has the most by any Pakistani finished his career with 97 ( a shame he could not get to 100)

Umer Gul and Saeed Ajmal have 85 to their names.

Will be an accomplishment indeed once, he gets it. With 1 game left vs England, and tri-series with New Zealand and Bangladesh, followed up a world cup will be interesting to see when he gets it and against which opponent.

Looking forward to when he hits this landmark.
 
What a bowler he has become. Another one whom Mamoon the expert predicted to be a failure

A lot of people written him off during a period he was not doing well, he always had the potential, he rightly so deserves this accomplishment.
 
I rate him highly. He is a proven performer in T20s but quality in Tests and ODIs too.
 
Picked up 1 wicket vs Bangladesh currently has 85 to his name. 15 wickets away inshAllah

Shadab is laughably overrated. A bog average, bits and pieces cricketer.

He has had a free ride since 2017 and he does the bare minimum. This is his sixth year with the team and people don’t know if he is a bowling all-rounder or a batting all-rounder and that is because he is average at both.

I don’t recall the last time he ran through a lineup with the ball and made a proper impact and he is a glorified tail-ender with the bat who doesn’t fit into any role/position.

Not good enough to bat in the top-order, not good enough to bat in the middle-order and not a good enough hitter to bat in the lower-order as a finisher.

He is one of the luckiest players in Pakistan’s history because he has emerged as a spinner at a time where Pakistan’s spin bowling stocks are at an all time low. He would be nowhere near the team in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and early 2010s with his skill set.

On top of that, he is one of the most injury prone players due to which he has no interest in Test cricket. While people are distributing mithai to celebrate a nothing achievement like 100 T20I wickets, let’s not ignore the fact that he has a grand total of 14 Test wickets to his name which is utterly embarrassing.
 
Having 14 Test wickets is quite an achievement considering how little he has played Test matches, and that too as a part time bowler on pitches not known to be spinning graveyard for batsmen.
As a limited over bowler always has been reliable, people were casting shadow on his ability couple years back without understanding that he had a long time off with injury, and had lots of stop -start sequeneces of matches in between. He has ability to shine as lower middle order batsmen in any format, but not given opportunity in international cricket. He has shown his ability in PSL and playing for Northern, as well as in Test matches at critical stages. His fielding alone is worth sack full of Gold for Pakistan, saving many potential boundaries and very reliable catcher. In the world cup he performed well too, and he was good in Asia cup too.
 
Can someone Extract stats for last year spinners performances in t20i or something.
Only Comparison i could do was Rashid khan.
Both played 20 matches
Shadab has better stats with average of 18 and 27 wickets
While Rashid khan with an average of 20 and 23 wickets.
Maybe because Rashid khan played Asia Cup and T20 world cup that should bring his stats to how he would have fared if he was not just bashing minnows you know

Adil Rashid is 10 years older, plays for England who have even worse spin stocks than Pakistan and play a ridiculous amounts of test cricket, and yet only has 60 wickets.

Does that make Adil a worse cricketer? Absolutely not. And Shadab has consistently outperformed both Adil Rashid and Rashid khan in the last few tournaments they’ve all played.

Overrated?? Don’t think u watched him run through the Aus batting line up in semi final 2021 WC. That was best spell of the tournament.
I think you are still hurting from Shadab’s brilliant performances against India during WC and Asia cup

Do you want to re write this essay ?
 
Good bowler, and I think you need a wrist spinner in Oz. Bats well, fields well. Said before I think if he fires he's essential to Pakistan going deep in the tournament.

NZ couldn't read all his variations.

Shadab Khan now currently is on 87 wickets. Can he get to 100 during world cup, dont think so but would be special if he can :)
 
Shadab Khan ends up 3-23 vs Zimbabwe, and Now has 90 t20 international wickets. He is 10 away from 100 now.

Shadab in his second over vs netherlands picks up his 2nd wicket of the match, and is now on 92 t20 international wickets.

Happy with his bowling but he really bat's like a #9 and is not an all rounder
 
Shadab Khan picks up 2 wickets so far vs south africa and is currently on 95 t20 international wickets.
 
2 crucial wickets:

Has been the best spinner in the 2019 ODI World Cup, the 2021 t20 World Cup and now 2022 t20 World Cup.

That’s across 3 continents and in big tournaments. When you take into consideration his decent cameos, he is vastly underrated on the world stage.
 
He is more important to Pakistan than Rizwan in this format.

Had Shaheen and Hasan Ali not choked vs Australia last year, Shadab would have got his Afridi moment of 2009 semis and probably finals too. :inti
 
Shadab khan vs bangladesh 2-30 in his 4 overs and now has 97 T20 international wickets

He is tied with Shahid Afridi with most T20 international wickets by a pakistani player with 97.
 
Given the amount of T20s Pakistan play, if Shadab play for another 10 years which he most likely will, he will get to 300 international T20 wickets.

Shadab Khan with his 1 wicket in the final now has most wickets for Pakistan

98 t20international wickets

He is 2 away from 100
 
There is a reason every respected ex-player in the world praises Shadab. They see genuine quality.

The most improved Pakistani player of the last 3 years. Sky is the limit for him if he continues his learning journey.
 
98 T20 wickets for Pakistan

Can he get 2 wickets today vs Afghanistan and get 100 international t20 wickets
 
He wont get any more tonight the way he is bowling, I feel.
 
He’s been bowling trash for ages

Usama Mir is a better leggie than he is. If we are taking a leggie to India, it should be Mir not Shadab

Usama Mir would’ve ran through the Afghanistan batting line-up.

Shadab looked so toothless. If he can’t continue the form he showed in the previous two editions of the WT20 then Usama Mir may need to replace him. Shadab’s batting in white ball cricket isn’t of much use, now that he’s fallen below Shaheen in the pecking order.

It’s criminal how Usman Qadir has always been selected ahead of Usama Mir as the reserve spinner. The latter is what’s needed to keep Shadab grounded and focused.
 
Shadab will he be able to get to his 100 wickets today, he needs 2, he was not able to even get 1 during this series, he could go wicketless today too
 
Most wickets in T20Is:

134 Tim Southee in 107 matches
131 Shakib Al Hasan in 113 matches
129 Rashid Khan in 80 matches
114 Ish Sodhi in 91 matches
107 Lasith Malinga in 84 matches
101 Shadab Khan in 87 matches

This stat also shows the crazy number of T20Is that Pakistan is playing these days.

Shadab at the alleged age of 24 has already played 87 T20Is.

How did he get to 100 so quickly???

Acording to many, he is a mediocre cricketer

If crickrt was a business (and one can argue it truly is in this era) it wouldn’t be the worst decision by the PCB to stop playing tests all together and only play limited overs cricket.

What actually confirmes it again, is how obsessed these guys are with personal milestones.

Doing a sajda while you as a captain lost the series.

Very low standards.
 
We can be critical on Shadab for his captaincy but you cannot take away his wickets which are an achievement and one we should all be proud of as Pakistan supporters

He was trying to take those wickets to lose the match and only to add it his personal account, no way Team Pakistan would had benefited from opposition bastmen being dismissed.

Possibly but I think it's more to do with the fact that Pakistan is the only side that plays their first string team in every single white ball contest whether it be tournaments or even bilaterals against minnows. The series against Afghanistan was an exception and a refreshing change as Pakistan needs to rotate their squad more often.

Legendary leg spin bowler who has produced legendary match winning performances in T20 World Cup knockouts( vs Aus, SA, NZ, Eng) similar to Kohli who performs in WT20 knockouts.
 
Shadab has been good in most world cups. Always contributes with either bat or ball.

I find it weird and a sign of low standards that one celebrates in the way he did once he reached 100 wickets.
 
Highest wicket taker for Pakistan but not among the best T20 bowlers produced by Pakistan . Gul for me was the best and Shahid Afridi was also among the best.

He is still very young and as a spinner will have a long career , I hope. Has plenty of time to improve his game, which has deteriorated a bit for last 2 years or so.

Being a highest wicket taker in any format, let alone taking a wicket itself and celebrating is definetly not low standard. If it was I would be doing lap around the ground for achieving a landmark for my country.
 
Pakistan's legendary fast bowler and bowling coach Umar Gul has presented a special jersey to Shadab Khan on becoming the only Pakistan male cricketer to bag 100 T20I wickets
