Shaheen Afridi Records Yet Another Milestone in T20 Cricket

In a career already laced with jaw-dropping moments, Shaheen Shah Afridi has now added another historic chapter with his latest wicket during the ongoing PSL 2025.

The fiery left-arm quick dismissed Sahibzada Farhan during Lahore Qalandars’ game against Islamabad United to notch his 300th T20 wicket. At just 25 years and 24 days old, Shaheen has become the second-youngest bowler to break that barrier and the fastest pacer in the history of T20 cricket. The milestone, fittingly, came in the heat of the PSL 2025 season, a tournament where Afridi has grown from a teenage prodigy into one of the format’s most feared fast bowlers.

Only one man has reached the 300 T20 wickets milestone at a younger age than Shaheen Shah Afridi: Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, who might go down as the best spinner this format has ever seen. That accomplishment alone puts Shaheen in rarefied air.

Shaheen’s T20 journey began back in 2018, when a raw 17-year-old made his Pakistan Super League debut for Lahore Qalandars. Since then, he’s become a mainstay not only for Lahore Qalandars but for Pakistan in global tournaments and across domestic leagues. From first over carnages to game-changing spells, Shaheen Afridi has made a habit of delivering when the stakes are highest.

Afridi’s 300 wickets have come across a span of just over 216 matches, with a career strike rate hovering around 16.0—a mark that puts him among the most efficient wicket-takers in the format’s history.

He’s not just chasing numbers now; he’s chasing greatness. And if the past is any indicator, he’s got the firepower to get there.
