Hasan Ali is back in the spotlight—and this time, it’s for a milestone that cements his place among Pakistan’s T20 greats.

Currently turning out for the Birmingham Bears in the ongoing Men’s Vitality Blast 2025, the fiery right-arm pacer has become the ninth Pakistani bowler to claim 300 wickets in T20 cricket.

He reached the landmark in just 210 matches, a feat that speaks volumes about his consistency and longevity in the shortest format.

A Growing Legacy

With this achievement, Hasan joins an exclusive group that includes household names like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf. His current T20 wicket tally stands at 301, and he has now become the 39th cricketer globally to reach the 300-wicket mark in T20s.

Not bad for someone who’s had his share of ups and downs on the international stage.

Here’s a quick look at the top Pakistani bowlers in T20 history:

  • Wahab Riaz – 413 wickets
  • Sohail Tanvir – 389 wickets
  • Mohammad Amir – 384 wickets
  • Imad Wasim – 365 wickets
  • Shahid Afridi – 347 wickets
  • Shadab Khan – 345 wickets
  • Haris Rauf – 321 wickets
  • Shaheen Afridi – 310 wickets
  • Hasan Ali – 301 wickets

Globally, Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan leads the pack with a jaw-dropping 643 wickets in 477 games.

Strong Start to Vitality Blast for Hasan Ali

Hasan’s milestone comes on the back of a solid run of form in the 2025 Vitality Blast. Representing the Bears, he has played six matches, picking up 12 wickets at an average of 17.33.

Sure, his economy rate of 9.38 suggests he’s leaking a few, but his knack for breakthroughs remains unmatched.

The Birmingham Bears, meanwhile, are fighting to stay in the playoff race. They currently sit sixth in the North Group, with four wins and four losses from their eight matches—good enough for 16 points.
