Ahmedabad, March 26 -- Afghanistan's premier spinner, Rashid Khan, broke India's prime pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's record to become the third-fastest to reach 150 Indian Premier League (IPL) wickets.

Rashid achieved the momentous feat during the Gujarat Titans season opener against Punjab Kings. He had a sole scalp to show for his name in Titan's narrow 11-run defeat, but it was enough to take him past Bumrah and become the third-fastest to reach 150 scalps in the cash-rich league.

Rashid boasts 150 wickets in 122 matches, his staggering tally only bettered by Yuzvendra Chahal (118) and Lasith Malinga (105). Rashid landed at the 150-wicket mark in two matches fewer than Bumrah's 124.
