Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has reached 400 wickets in white-ball cricket during Bangladesh's first T20I against Afghanistan in Mirpur Thursday.
In the 11th over, Shakib achieved the milestone by getting Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi at deep cover caught by Afif Hossain.
Shakib Al Hasan is the ninth cricketer to take 400 or more wickets in limited-overs cricket.
Muttiah Muralitharan, a former Sri Lanka spinner, tops the list with 547 wickets in 362 limited-overs matches. Shakib, on the other hand, is the first left-arm spinner to accomplish the feat.
Meanwhile, Shakib claimed another wicket in the game, this time that of Najibullah Zadran, as Bangladesh thrashed Afghanistan by 61 runs.
In four overs, Shakib finished with statistics of two for 18 runs.
