another feat. The 31-year-old player has reached the double of 4000 runs and
300 wickets in the Twenty20 format and become the second player in this elite
list, the first player to achieve this milestone was Dwayne Bravo.

Mumbai Indians in the 2018 Indian Premier League on April 24 (Tuesday), Shakib
Al Hasan completed his 300 wickets in the shortest format of the game. He now
has 4,069 runs and 300 wickets. It needed him 260 T20 matches to reach the mark.
The 34-year-old West Indian all-rounder, who has been
playing for the Chennai Super Kings, has the double of 5,621 runs and 419
wickets. He has accomplished this record playing 381 T20s.
Shakib is one of the five players to have claimed 300
T20 wickets, and the first left-arm bowler to achieve the feat. Apart from
Brave and Shakib, other three players who have reached the bowling milestone
are Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga (348), West Indies spinner Sunil
Narine (325) and Pakistan legend Shahid Afridi (300),
Neither
Brave nor Shakib will make it to the top 20 list when it comes to most runs,
which is led by Chris Gayle of the West Indies with 11,297 runs, including 21
centuries and 69 half-centuries, at an average of 41.38.
