Dwayne Bravo now has got 302 wickets in 292 matches and is the first bowler to reach the magical figure of 300 wickets...
The shortest format of the game is tailor made for batsmen as they are the ones who are flourishing in this version. From favorable rules to short boundaries, there is hardly anything which is on the side of bowlers. However, despite this treatment, the bowlers have learned the art of surviving and are making inroads with their clever thinking and pinpoint strategy. It is because of them that T20 has become the best mode as they keep the competitive level intact. Dwayne Bravo recently created history when he became the leading wicket taker in the history of the slam bang version. Here is the list of top five wicket-takers in T20s.
DWAYNE BRAVO
302 WICKETS IN 292 MATCHES
He has been a star in the shortest format of the game and has carved a niche for himself because of his performance. After winning the T20 World Cup with West Indies, he entered the Indian Premier League with positive intent which paid rich dividends in the end. In his first game for his new IPL franchise Gujarat Lions, the right arm fast bowler took four wickets which helped him in surpassing Lasith Malinga as the leading wicket taker in T20s. Dwayne Bravo now has got 302 wickets in 292 matches and is the first bowler to reach the magical figure of 300 wickets. Famous for his clever change of pace and slower ones, Bravo has become a headache for batters from across the globe. It will be very difficult for his rivals to go pass beyond him as he is always in the action when it comes to T20 cricket.
LASITH MALINGA
299 WICKETS IN 221 MATCHES
