Contents
1. Rashid Khan
Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan became the fastest to take 100 wickets in ODI cricket when he got his hundredth victim in his 44th game, breaking the record of 52 matches set by Australian bowler Mitchell Starc in 2016. Khan got to the magic mark in the final of the World Cup qualifier at Harare against the West Indies on 25 March 2018. Batting first, the West Indies were dismissed for 204 thanks to brilliant figures of 4 for 43 by Mujeeb Ur Rahman. However, Rashid Khan could not be denied his record when the young leg-spinner trapped Shai Hope lbw for 23 just as the batsman was looking set and his partnership with Hetmyer was beginning to get out of Afghanistan’s control. Afghanistan chased down the target with more than nine overs to spare.
2. Mitchell Starc

Starc reached the milestone when he got the second wicket, that of DM De Silva caught by Bailey for 2, with Sri Lanka at 5/132.
