MULTAN: (Web Desk) Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan achieved a milestone in Pakistan Super League (PSL) history on Wednesday by becoming the first spinner, and fourth bowler overall, to claim 100 wickets in the tournament.

The leg-spinner hit the 100-wicket mark by removing Multan Sultans’ skipper Mohammad Rizwan, who was caught out after scoring 36 runs.

Shadab reached the milestone during his team’s ongoing PSL 10 clash against Multan Sultans at the Multan Cricket Stadium, marking his 89th appearance in the league.
