Sunil Narine, long celebrated for his deceptive variations, added another historic chapter to his career by becoming the first bowler to scalp 600 wickets in competitive T20 cricket. The landmark moment came during Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' World ILT20 fixture against Sharjah Warriorz on Wednesday, where the Trinidadian all-rounder dismissed Tom Abell to reach the unprecedented mark.
Post-match, Narine was honoured by Abu Dhabi Knight Riders with a special edition jersey emblazoned with the number 600, symbolising a feat no bowler has achieved before. At 37, Narine’s milestone further strengthens his legacy as one of the finest T20 bowlers the format has witnessed.
Across his illustrious career, Narine has proudly represented multiple franchises under the Knight Riders banner, including Kolkata Knight Riders, Trinbago Knight Riders, Los Angeles Knight Riders and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
In a statement, the franchise said, “The Knight Riders family stands immensely proud of Narine's extraordinary achievement, recognising that this record may well stand the test of time as one of cricket's most enduring milestones.”
