Pakistan\u2019s pacer Haris Rauf has etched his name in T20I records, overtaking Shadab Khan\u2019s feat to become the top wicket-taker for Pakistan in the shorter format. The milestone came during the opening match of the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe on Sunday. Rauf, with his 109th wicket, surpassed Shadab\u2019s record of 107 wickets. The 31-year-old achieved the feat in just 76 T20I matches, while Shadab took 104 games. Rauf\u2019s remarkable consistency with the ball has made him a standout performer in Pakistan’s T20I setup. Left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi is in third place on the list with 97 wickets from 73 matches and is only three wickets away from joining the exclusive 100-wicket club in T20Is.
