World record holder Yasir Shah calls on PM Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s world record holding cricketer Yasir Shah called on Prime Minister Imran Khan here at his Banigala residence earlier today.

Imran Khan congratulated the team’s leg-spinner for setting the world record of taking the fastest 200 wickets in Test cricket history, having broken the previous record set by Australian bowler Clarrie Grimmett some 83 years ago.

Yasir Shah is a specialist leg-break spin bowler and is known for his leg spinners, flippers and googlies.

He is not only the fastest bowler to pick up 200 wickets in just 33 Test matches but he is also the joint-second fastest bowler to take 100 wickets in Test cricket.

Born in Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 1986, Yasir is regarded by Shane Warne as one of the best spinners in modern cricket.
