Hasan Ali Breaks Waqar Younis Record in Third ODI against Sri Lanka

Written by Rohit Pawar

Pakistan fast bowling sensation Hasan Ali derailed Sri Lanka batting order in Third ODI at Abu Dhabi today, as he claimed five wickets for just 34 runs.

During his fiery spell, he became the fastest Pakistani bowler to get 50 ODI wickets. Ali managed this feat in just 24 matches, surpassing Waqar Younis, who achieved the feat in 27 games.

Apart from that, Ali is also the highest wicket-taker in ODIs in 2017. In a total of 17 innings, he has scalped 41 wickets. The Pakistani is above Jasprit Bumrah (29), Liam Plunkett (36), Rashid Khan (36), and Kagiso Rabada (26).

23 year old Pakistani allrounder attracted the attention of world cricket during the Champions trophy in June this year, when he wreck havoc on the much-feared Indian betting line-up in the final, finishing with the figures of 3/16. He took the game away from India, and the cup too.
