Rashid Khan, often considered the greatest T20 player of all time, has shown immense consistency in his performances since his debut. His abilities in T20s with the ball are well-known to all. Batters have a difficult time defending their wickets against him, let alone taking him on.
The cricketer appears to be exceeding his abilities with each passing day, as he achieved an unprecedented feat of bowling 100 deliveries in T20 internationals without conceding a single boundary. On his 106th delivery during Pakistan vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I in Sharjah, he conceded his first boundary to Saim Ayub.
Fans are left in awe of the cricketer as he achieved the amazing feat. “He is too strong to be in that league the toughest competition he gets is in IPL Afghanistan doesn’t play with strong international team and he would make it to the 11 of any given international team in the world,” a user wrote on Twitter.
In the meantime, the Afghanistan skipper penned down a note for his fans after his team trashed Pakistan in the second match of the series to claim it 2-0. Rashid dedicated the victory to the people of Afghanistan and their fans around the world a day after making history.
“WE DID IT!!! I am so proud of this team. This win goes to all the people of Afghanistan and our fans around the (world),” he wrote on Instagram.
Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan showered praise on his teammates after they scripted history in the UAE. He also stated that captaining the team is a privilege for him. “Great honour and pleasure to lead this wonderful team. Great effort with the ball, and then we took it deep and finished it off. This wicket is always a 150-160 wicket,” Rashid said.
“But Pakistan-Afghanistan game is pressure game and that makes it 125-130. 130 was a good total, but we tried our best to take it deep and finish it,” he added.

The perfect T20 player.
