Ace Pakistan speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi added another feather to his hat on Tuesday.

Afridi became the 21st bowler from Pakistan to take 100 or more wickets in ODIs, reaching the milestone in his 51st game. Former captain and legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram tops the list with 502 wickets in 356 matches.

The 23-year-old also breached the long-standing record of Saqlain Mushtaq to become the fastest Pakistani bowler to 100 wickets in the 50-over format. While the legendary spinner, who retired with 288 wickets in the format, got his 100^th wicket in his 53^rd ODI game for Pakistan.

Nepal Sandeep Lamicchane is sitting on the top of the table as he reached the milestone in just 42 matches followed by star Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan.

Shaheen made his ODI debut against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi during the Asia Cup in 2018 and has since become one of the top new ball bowlers in all formats of the game. So far, he has picked up 105 wickets in 27 Tests and 64 in 52 T20Is.
