Pakistan right-arm fast bowler Hasan Ali has broken the record by becoming the first bowler to take 20 wickets or more in a single Pakistan Super League (PSL) season.
Hasan Ali, who had a poor outing with the national side against New Zealand and South Africa, has comeback extremely strongly with Peshawar Zalmi.
The previous record was shared by his team-mate Wahab Riaz and Islamabad United’s Faheem Ashraf; the pacers took 18 wickets in the last edition of PSL.
Overtaking them, Hasan Ali has already taken 22 wickets with still at least one more game to go. Faheem Ashraf has also broken his previous best and has 20 wickets to his name with one more game to go.
