Punjab Kings fast bowler Kagiso Rabada on Thursday (April 13) became the fastest bowler to claim 100 wickets in the Indian Premier League. He achieved the feat during Punjab's match against Gujarat Titans at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.
Rabada bowled a short-of-length delivery to Titans opener Wriddhiman Saha who smashed it towards deep square leg. With the ball skying way too high, it seemed like it would clear the distance but ended up in the hands of Matthew Short.
Playing in his first game in IPL 2023, Rabada claimed his 100th dismissal in the tournament. The South African took the 100th scalp in his 64th innings and broke former Mumbai Indians pacer Lasith Malinga's record as the fastest bowler to pick up 100 IPL wickets. The Sri Lankan achieved the feat in 70 innings.
