Islamabad, 24 April 2025: Islamabad United’s captain, Shadab Khan, made history on Wednesday by becoming the first spinner to take 100 wickets in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
The milestone was achieved during his side’s crucial victory against Multan Sultans at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
Shadab, playing his 89th match in the tournament, dismissed Multan skipper Mohammad Rizwan to reach the landmark.
