GT Vs PBKS: Rashid Khan is now the 3rd fastest bowler to reach 150 IPL wickets. Read below for details.

GT Vs PBKS: Gujarat Titans star spinner Rashid Khan touches new heights in his IPL career, as he completes 150 wickets in the competition. The Afghan bowler is the 3rd fastest bowler to reach the feat (122 innings), behind Lasith Malinga (105 innings) and Yuzvendra Chahal (118 innings).

However, Rashid Khan has surpassed Indian legend Jasprit Bumrah for the 3rd place, as the MI pacer attained the feat in 124 innings.

Fastest to 150 IPL Wickets by Innings:

  • 105: Lasith Malinga
  • 118: Yuzvendra Chahal
  • 122*: Rashid Khan
  • 124 - Jasprit Bumrah

However, Rashid Khan's celebration was short-lived, as the spinner was bashed for 48 runs in PBKS's run-fest at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Apart from Ravi Sai Kishore (3/30 in 4 overs), no GT bowler managed to register an economy of less than 10, as they conceded 243 runs.

Shashank Singh Reflects On His Impactful 44* Off 16 Balls

Shashank Singh (Punjab Kings):

"Thank you so much Ravi Sir. Yes obviously it was a good cameo but looking at the way Shreyas was batting from the dug-out, that motivated me even more. Let's be honest. Shreyas from ball one told me, Shashank don't be like I am getting a hundred. Just play your shots well. Kudos to him that he spoke to me before the last over."

"I was not thinking much. I was watching the ball closely and reacting to it. In this level, if I pre-determine to much then I will be behind. It was pretty simple for me. See the ball, hit the ball."

"Obviously the team management has backed me a lot. That has given me a lot of motivation to go out there and play my shots. I think I know my shots. If it's a good ball, I will respect it. I will back my strength and play the shots which I have practiced before."
