Ehsan Khan, the seasoned Hong Kong spinner, has etched his name in the annals of cricket history by becoming the first bowler from his country to claim 100 wickets in T20 Internationals. This remarkable achievement was accomplished during the ongoing Malaysia Tri-Nation T20 Cup Tournament, where Khan's 4-28 against hosts Malaysia propelled Hong Kong to a seven-run victory.
Khan's journey to this milestone has been marked by memorable performances. In the 2018 Asia Cup, he stunned the cricketing world by dismissing Indian legend M.S. Dhoni for a duck and claiming the wicket of Rohit Sharma, who later led India to the T20 World Cup title. In the same tournament, Khan also dismissed Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam, the current captain.
Khan's ability to deceive batsmen with his off-break deliveries has been instrumental in his success. His best bowling figures of 4-22 highlight his consistency and effectiveness. In the match against Malaysia, Khan's four wickets played a crucial role in restricting the hosts to 146/7, despite Hong Kong's modest total of 153/6.
Hong Kong Cricket celebrated Khan's historic achievement with heartfelt messages on social media. "100 T20I wickets for the inspirational Ehsan Khan! Congratulations on such a legendary achievement!" the organization posted on Instagram and Twitter.
Khan's achievement is a testament to his skill, determination, and the growing strength of cricket in Hong Kong. As an Associate Member of the International Cricket Council, Hong Kong's success on the international stage is a source of pride and inspiration for the nation.
