Hasan breaks Sahadat record, sets new record
Hasan Mahmud has reached a great milestone in the Antigua Test. Hasan is now the most wicket-taker for Bangladesh in a single calendar year in Tests. The right-arm pacer surpassed that in his next over.
Hasan set such a record in the first hour of the second day of the Test. He has taken a total of 25 wickets in 8 matches so far this year. This is the new record for the highest wickets among domestic pacers.
Hasan broke the record set by Shahadat Hossain Rajib in 2008. Shahadat Hossain took 23 wickets in 9 Tests 16 years ago.
However, Hasan has no chance of setting a world record. Since 1981, Dennis Lillee has taken 85 wickets in 13 Tests, which no other cricketer has ever achieved.
