Abu Dhabi Knight Riders pay tribute to Sunil Narine after historic bowling feat

The West Indian legend of the game completed an unprecedented 600 T20 wickets during the win over Sharjah Warriorz

Abu Dhabi, November 4, 2025: In an unprecedented feat, spin legend Sunil Narine etched his name in history after becoming the first bowler in history to claim 600 wickets in T20 cricket. The milestone was achieved during the DP World ILT20 game between Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Sharjah Warriorz on Wednesday, November 3.

Following the match, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders presented Narine with a special edition jersey featuring the number 600 to commemorate this historic achievement, recognizing a moment that will be remembered as one of the defining milestones in T20 cricket history.

Narine reached the landmark by claiming the wicket of Tom Abell. This achievement is a testament to Narine’s status as the greatest T20 bowler to take the pitch. Over the years, he has represented the likes of Kolkata Knight Riders, as well as the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Trinbago Knight Riders and Los Angeles Knight Riders.

The Knight Riders family stands immensely proud of Narine's extraordinary achievement, recognizing that this record may well stand the test of time as one of cricket's most enduring milestones.
