Rashid Khan holds the record for the fastest to 100 wickets in ODI

Cricket fans around the world always appreciate if you have real talent. Afghan cricketers are naturally talented. Rashid Khan once posted a video playing backyard cricket with his brothers. One of his brothers bowled leg spin as well as Rashid Khan. It sums the talent factory of Afghanistan.

Rashid Khan is currently the number one ranked ODI bowler and also holds the record for the fastest player to take 100 wickets in the ODI history. Not just Rashid, there are quite a lot of talented players lined up in their team.

In the second T20I against Ireland, Hazratullah Zazai's unbeaten 162 off 62 balls helped them to post 278/3, the highest ever total in T20 history. Also, they recorded the highest ever partnership in T20 history. During the innings, they amassed 23 sixes which is the highest ever by any team in T20 internationals.
