Watch: Rashid Khan becomes 1st spinner to claim 4 wickets in 4 balls in T20I

Rashid Khan has become the first player in cricket history to take four wickets in four balls in an international Twenty20 during Afghanistan's 32-run win against Ireland in Dehradun.

Dehradun: Leg spin- a rare breed in the game of cricket. When the game is highly dominated by pace bowlers and off-spinners, Rashid Khan's mesmerizing art of leg-spin caught the attention of one and all.

His victims were Kevin O'Brien, George Dockrell, Shane Getkate and Simi Singh.

Lasith Malinga is onlyotherbowler to achieve it

Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga is the only other player to do it, taking four wickets in four balls in a super eight game against South Africa in 2007 World Cup.

The Afghan spin prodigy became the first cricketer to take a hat-trick in Twenty 20 international. The first six hat-tricks in T20Is were all taken by pacers.
