Tim Southee ! Top Wicket taker in T20
First Player to reach 150 T20 Wickets
Tim Southee reached a very important millstone in T20 cricket world history. He became the first bowler to reach the 150 wicket total in T20 internationals. This is a very special performance by the young fast bowler and he got many more years to play. I'm glad to see one Sri Lankan player in this list , lasith Malinga , who was a Sri Lankan champion of the game. But the game is still on as most of the players in this list are still actively playing the game.
Timothy Grant Southee (born 11 December 1988), is a New Zealand international cricketer who plays for New Zealand cricket team in all formats of the game, captain in Tests and vice captain in T20Is. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler and a hard-hitting lower order batsman. The third New Zealand bowler to take 300 Test wickets, he was one of the country's youngest cricketers, debuting at the age of 19 in February 2008. On his Test debut against England he took 5 wickets and made 77 off 40 balls in the second innings.[1] He plays for Northern Districts in the Plunket Shield, Ford Trophy and Super Smash as well as Northland in the Hawke Cup. He was named as New Zealand's captain for the first T20I against West Indies in place of Kane Williamson, who was rested for that game.[2] The Blackcaps won that match by 47 runs.[3] Southee was a member of the New Zealand team that won the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship.Southee is known for his ability to generate late outswing at a brisk pace, and later with off cutting slower balls almost like a faster off-spinner on a damp wicket and death bowling. He was the third-highest wicket-taker at the 2011 ICC World Cup (18 wickets at 17.33). He also impressed at the 2015 ICC World Cup, taking 7 wickets in a round robin league match against England.[4] This performance was named Wisden's ODI spell of the decade.[5]
I wish he will reach the 200 wickets soon. NZ is my second favourite team after Sri Lanka. They have brilliant fast bowlers, can't forget Boult too.
