MUMBAI: Zimbabwe’s Brad Evans Sets Unique T20 Record with Wickets in 28 Consecutive Innings
Zimbabwe fast bowler Brad Evans has created a unique record in T20 cricket by becoming the first bowler to take at least one wicket in 28 consecutive innings.
He achieved this milestone during the ICC T20 World Cup Super 8 stage match against West Indies, when he dismissed West Indies captain Shai Hope.
Prior to this, the record was jointly held by Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga and Ireland’s Mark Adair, both of whom had taken wickets in 27 successive T20 innings.
Evans’ streak now stands alone at the top, but it faces a potential threat from Pakistan’s spinner Usman Tariq, who has already claimed wickets in 25 consecutive T20 innings and is closing in on the mark.
This achievement highlights Evans’ consistency and effectiveness as a death bowler and all-format asset for Zimbabwe in recent years.
