    What's the story

    South Africa's veteran spinner Imran Tahir has completed 500 wickets in T20 cricket.

    The 44-year-old reached the landmark playing for Rangpur Riders against Khulna Tigers in the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

    Tahir took a five-wicket haul as the Riders went on defend 219.

    The leg-spinner has become only the fourth player to enter the 500-wicket club in T20s.

    Here are the stats.

    Record

    Tahir enters an elite club

    Tahir is only behind Dwayne Bravo (624), Rashid Khan (556), and Sunil Narine (532) in terms of T20 wickets.

    This means he is only the second leg-spinner after Rashid to take 500 wickets in the shortest format (overall). Narine is the only other spinner with this feat.

    Shakib Al Hasan is Tahir's closest rival with over 470 T20 scalps.

    Tahir has a decent economy rate of 6.73 and owns two five-wicket hauls in the format.

    Tahir has snapped up 82 wickets from 59 matches at a remarkable average of 20.76 in the cash-rich league.
