A Milestone Moment for the Left-Arm Pacer
Mohammad Amir has etched his name in cricket history by claiming his 400th wicket in T20 cricket.
The landmark came during the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025, where the Pakistan pacer is representing Trinbago Knight Riders.
The big moment arrived when Amir dismissed Fabian Allen of Antigua & Barbuda Falcons — making him only the second Pakistani ever to reach the 400-wicket mark in T20S.
Why This Milestone Matters
In T20 cricket, bowlers are often at the mercy of big-hitting batters. Reaching 400 wickets in such a demanding format highlights both Amir’s skill and his staying power.
With this achievement, he now stands ninth on the all-time wicket-takers list. Among Pakistanis, only Wahab Riaz (413 wickets) sits ahead of him.
The Journey to 400
Amir’s road to this landmark hasn’t been straightforward. From bursting onto the international scene as a teenage prodigy to stepping away from Pakistan cricket at times, his career has had highs and lows.
But across global T20 leagues — whether in the PSL, CPL, or elsewhere — Amir has been a steady performer. His ability to adapt his swing and variations to different conditions has been the key to his longevity.

What’s Next for Amir?
At 33 years old, Amir still has plenty to give. With Wahab Riaz’s record just a few wickets away, he’s on the brink of becoming Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker in T20 cricket.
Teammates and fans have already hailed his achievement on social media, calling it a reminder of the left-arm pacer’s enduring class — someone who continues to shine despite the challenges of the shortest format.
Final Word
Milestones like these aren’t just numbers; they reflect years of hard work, resilience, and adaptation.
Mohammad Amir’s 400th wicket is not just a statistic — it’s proof that he remains one of Pakistan’s most talked-about fast bowlers, still making his mark on the global stage.
The journey isn’t over — and the next chapter could see him become Pakistan’s No.1 wicket-taker in T20 history.
