Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga became the first bowler to take a four-wicket haul in this year. He returned 4 for 35 against Pakistan in Dambulla.

Wanindu Hasaranga completed 150 T20I wickets in early 2026, becoming just the fifth bowler to go past the milestone.

Hasaranga also became the joint-fastest bowler to take 150 wickets in T20Is, reaching there in 92 innings to level Rashid Khan.

Speaking of Rashid Khan, he continues to keep batters in check. He averages a touch above 10, while strikes a wickets almost every 15th delivery. His economy rate is also under five.
