IPL 2023: Kagiso Rabada makes history by taking the quickest 100 wickets in the competition.

The 16th season of the Indian Premier League has begun, and the opening few weeks of the competition have seen some magnificent cricket action. In game 18 between the Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans, Mohit Sharma made an incredible comeback to the T20 extravaganza after a three-year absence. The second innings, however, belonged to South African pace bowler Kagiso Rabada, who made history by becoming the IPL’s fastest bowler to 100 wickets in terms of balls taken. With the wicket of Wriddhiman Saha in the fifth over of the second innings, the right-arm fast bowler reached the landmark in 1438 balls, surpassing Lasith Malinga, who had done it in 1622 balls.

In his 65th IPL game, the 27-year-old player has amassed 100 wickets at an average of over 19 and six four-wicket hauls. Kagiso Rabada earned the purple cap by taking 30 wickets in 17 games during the tournament’s 2020 season, with an average of 18.26.
