Yasir Shah Becomes Fastest Spinner to Claim 150 Test Wickets - chairman - 09-28-2017
Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah has been quite a sensation since the time he has made his way into the test team. The 31-year-old leg spinner, during a match against Sri Lanka at Abu Dhabi, became the second fastest bowler, and the fastest spinner in history of the game to scalp 150 test victims. The Pakistani achieved this feat in only 27 tests.
Yasir has now equaled former Pakistan pacer Waqar Younis' record. England's Sydney Barnes had taken 24 matches to reach this milestone. India's Ravichandran Ashwin had taken 29 matches to reach 150 test wickets.
