A new milestone has been achieved in the ongoing Tata IPL 2023. Kagiso Rabada, the Punjab Kings fast bowler, has become the fastest bowler to reach the milestone of 100 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He achieved this feat while playing for Punjab Kings against Gujarat Titans at the IS Bindra Stadium on April 13, 2023.
Fastest 100 Wickets in IPL: Kagiso Rabada eclipsed Lasith Malinga
Rabada dismissed Wriddhiman Saha in the fourth ball of his second over of the match to complete his century of IPL wickets in just 64 matches, surpassing the previous record holder, Lasith Malinga, who took 70 matches to reach this landmark. Saha was caught at deep backward square leg by Matthew Short.
The 27-year-old bowler has been a crucial member of the Punjab Kings team, taking wickets at regular intervals and keeping the opposition under check. His ability to bowl at a good pace and swing the ball both ways has made him a force to be reckoned with in the IPL. Itb has been a late start for Kagiso in this IPL as this is his very first game of the ongoing edition. The pacer had to sit out for two games even after joining PBKS camp this season.
