Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan is having a memorable season of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) both with the bat and bowl.

The 23-year-old already has already bagged 17 wickets in six games and has scored 198 runs. On Saturday, Shadab bagged one more accolade to his name as he overtook Quetta Gladiators' Mohammad Nawaz to become the leading wicket-taker among spinners in HBL PSL.

He reached to this feat after getting the wicket of James Vince. It was his 62nd wicket in the tournament's history. He eventually finished with figures of 3/25 in four overs against Quetta Gladiators.

He now has 63 wickets in 58 games, all while playing for Islamabad United. He is the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament's history while his teammate Hasan Ali stands at second with 78 wickets.

Peshawar Zalmi's captain Wahab Riaz holds the top spot with 96 wickets.
