Dwayne Bravo created history by becoming the highest wicket-taker in Indian Premier League (IPL) history during the match between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday 31 March 2022.
Bravo went past Sri Lanka fast bowler Lasith Malinga who took 170 wickets in 122 matches. He had earlier equalled the record after taking three wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday.
Playing his 153rd IPL encounter, Bravo claimed his 171st wicket in the 19th over of the match when Deepak Hooda was caught in the deep by CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja after scoring 13 off 8 balls.
