Despite the poor performance in T20 world cup 2010 till date, Pakistan enjoys a prominent position in T20 records. Let’s have a quick view:
- Pakistan set a new and unique record against Australia where Mohammad Amir’s last over earned 5 wickets in a maiden over. (3 by Amir, 2 run-out).
- Kamran Akmal is still the wicket-keeper with most dismissals. He has trapped 36 victims behind the wicket till date. Next to him is Dinesh Ramdin (West Indies) with 18 dismissals.
- Kamran Akmal has also made most stumpings in his career that is 21. Next to him is NJ O`Brein (Ireland) with 8 stumpings only.
- Kamran shares the record of most dismissals in an innings i.e. 4 dismissals. Others are Adam Gilchrist (Aus) and MJ Prior (Eng).
- Pakistan shares most consecutive wins in T20 (7 matches) with South Africa.
- Pakistan has the record of most batsmen reaching double figures in an innings (8 Batsmen vs. Scotland in 2007)
- Umar Gul is the highest wicket-taker in T20i with 43 wickets. Next to him are Shahid Afridi (40 wickets) and Daniel Vettori (33 wickets).
- Umer Gul has also the best bowling figures in an innings. He has taken 5 wickets off 6 runs in the match against New Zealand (T20 worldcup 2009).
- The record of most wickets in calendar year is shared by Umer Gul and Saeed Ajmal (19 wickets) with 208 and 242 runs respectively.
- Shahid Afridi shares most Man-of-the-match awards with Sanath Jayasuria (Sri Lanka), 6 times.
These are the records where Pakistan tops the list; there are many other records where Pakistan stands on prominent positions.
The most noticeable thing is that most of the records are based on individual performances (Most wickets, most dismissals etc) but in Team records, Pakistan stands nowhere (Highest team totals, victory with highest margin etc).
