Pakistan's star fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has reached another milestone by completing 100 wickets in T20 Internationals. With this achievement, he becomes the first Pakistani cricketer to take 100 wickets in each of the three formats of international cricket—Tests, ODIs, and T20Is.  

Shaheen accomplished this remarkable feat during the first T20I against South Africa in Durban. He also becomes the third Pakistani bowler to reach the 100-wicket mark in men's T20Is, joining Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan in this elite club.  

The left-arm pacer has been a standout performer for Pakistan across all formats. In addition to his 100 wickets in T20Is, Shaheen has taken 112 wickets in ODIs and 116 wickets in Test cricket.  

This historic milestone further cements Shaheen Afridi's position as one of Pakistan's most consistent and impactful bowlers on the international stage.
