200 wickets: Rashid Khan just did something no bowler in T20 international history had ever done

In Sharjah, under the lights, Rashid Khan trapped Zimbabwe's Tadiwanashe Marumani in front of the stumps — and became the first bowler in the history of men's T20 international cricket to take 200 wickets. The Afghan leg-spinner reached the mark in his 120th match, with an average of 13.96 that underlines how consistently he has done it, and Afghanistan won by 19 runs to seal the series. His nearest rival sits on 171. For a player from a country that learned cricket in refugee camps and now produces its defining bowler, the number is only half the story.
