Hasan Ali joins elite T20 club featuring Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi

Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali has reached a significant milestone in T20 cricket, becoming the ninth Pakistani and 39th overall player to take 300 wickets in the shortest format.

The 31-year-old achieved the feat while representing Birmingham Bears in the ongoing Men’s Vitality Blast 2025. He reached the landmark in just 212 matches, highlighting his consistency and effectiveness in T20 cricket.

With this achievement, Hasan has joined an elite group of Pakistani bowlers that includes Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Amir.

Former pacer Wahab Riaz leads the list for Pakistan with 413 wickets in 348 T20 matches. Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan leads the all-time T20 wicket-takers list with an impressive 643 wickets in 477 matches.

Most T20 wickets by Pakistani bowlers:

• Wahab Riaz – 413 wickets
• Sohail Tanvir – 389 wickets
• Mohammad Amir – 384 wickets
• Imad Wasim – 365 wickets
• Shahid Afridi – 347 wickets
• Shadab Khan – 345 wickets
• Haris Rauf – 321 wickets
• Shaheen Afridi – 310 wickets
• Hasan Ali – 301 wickets

In the ongoing Vitality Blast season, Hasan has been in solid form, picking up 12 wickets in six matches at an average of 17.33. However, his economy rate of 9.38 suggests there’s room for improvement in containing runs.

The Bears are currently placed sixth in the North Group table with four wins and four losses. They are set to face Leicestershire on next Friday as they look to climb up the standings.
