Kolkata Knight Riders legend and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders captain, Sunil Narine, created history by completing 600 wickets in his T20 career during the ILT20 2025-26 season opener against Sharjah Warriors.
Narine dismissed England's Tom Abel to become only the third bowler and second spinner globally to reach this remarkable milestone. He now joins an exclusive club alongside Dwayne Bravo (631) and the leading wicket-taker, Rashid Khan (681).
Apart from his personal feat, Narine led his team to a winning start. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders defeated Sharjah Warriors by 39 runs after posting 233/4, powered by Liam Livingstone's unbeaten 82 (38). Narine contributed with the ball, taking 1 wicket for just 22 runs in his four overs, as his team successfully defended the high total.
