Rashid Khan creates history, achieves best bowling figures by captain in T20 World Cup history – India TV

Rashid Khan has created history in the T20 World Cup 2024. The spin wizard from Afghanistan has shattered the record of best-ever figures by a captain in the history of T20 World Cups with his masterful bowling performance against New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2024. The 25-year-old took four wickets while giving only 17 runs as he led his team to a famous 84-run win over the Blackcaps. 

Rashid was right on the money from the word go. He came to bowl in the seventh over and removed the Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson with an LBW on the first ball. He came back to haunt the Kiwis with three more scalps in a mingy spell of 4/17 that was instrumental in his team’s win.

Rashid has achieved the best figures by a captain in T20 World Cup history, breaking the record jointly held by New Zealand’s Daniel Vettori and Oman’s Zeeshan Masood. While Vettori took 4/20 in a 2007 T20 World Cup match against India, Zeeshan matched the Kiwi legend in the 2021 edition of the tournament, taking 4/20 against PNG
