Taskin Ahmed on Track to Break BPL Record for Most Wickets in a Season
Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed is on course to become the highest wicket-taker in a single season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), showcasing remarkable consistency throughout the ongoing campaign.
Shakib Al Hasan currently holds the record, with 23 wickets in 15 matches for Dhaka Dynamites during the 2018-2019 season. However, Taskin is not far behind, having taken 20 wickets so far in just nine matches this season—demonstrating an impressive strike rate and ability to deliver in key moments.
From the very start of this BPL season, Taskin has been in sensational form, even though his team, Rajshahi Durbar, has struggled to find its rhythm in the competition. His standout performance came in only the second match of the season, when Taskin claimed a record-breaking 7-19 against Dhaka Capitals. This not only marked the best bowling figures in BPL history but also secured Taskin a spot as the third bowler in recognized T20 cricket history to take a seven-wicket haul—an extraordinary achievement that places him in elite company.
Previously, only two bowlers had ever achieved such a feat in T20 cricket, but Taskin joined the ranks with his sensational spell.
In the 2018-2019 season, when Shakib set the record for most wickets in a single BPL season, Taskin was a strong contender as well. Playing for Sylhet Sixers that season, Taskin ended with 22 wickets in 12 matches. However, he narrowly missed out on surpassing Shakib’s tally.
This season, Taskin is leading the charge, with a comfortable lead over second-place Abu Haider Rony, who has just 13 wickets. Taskin’s dominant performances have made him the clear favourite to break the record and become the highest wicket-taker of the season.
With his superb consistency, pace, and ability to produce match-winning performances, Taskin Ahmed is quickly becoming one of the most formidable bowlers in BPL history.
Taskin, who has been an integral part of Bangladesh's bowling attack, has been in excellent form in the ongoing BPL season. With his fiery pace and consistency, he has impressed fans and critics alike. His performance this season has been nothing short of outstanding, and he is closing in on breaking several BPL milestones held by Shakib, including top wicket-taking records and best bowling figures.
Having played for various franchises over the years, Taskin’s rise in the BPL has been marked by his ability to bowl in critical moments. Known for his aggressive style, Taskin has made a name for himself as one of the most consistent pacers in the league.
The fast bowler’s growth as a cricketer is evident in his increasing dominance in domestic leagues. If Taskin continues at his current pace, it won’t be long before he etches his name in the record books, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shakib, who has long been the king of BPL records.
