UAE’s premier T20 league, ILT20 (International League T20), is in full swing with players putting in some exceptional performances. Talking about the bowling, it has been really impressive to see most of the pacers dominating the league, and they are actually doing quite well. Many players who will be playing in the IPL 2025 are also participating in the ILT20.
An Afghan pacer, who has recently been included in the Rajasthan Royals for the IPL, has taken the most number of wickets so far. Meanwhile, another bowler, who is the second top wicket-taker, will turn a year older during IPL 2025.
Fazalhaq Farooqi on Top
Afghanistan’s top pacer, Fazalhaq Farooqi, who was recently added to the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 auction, has been in tremendous form. In the 10 matches he has played, he has taken 20 wickets with an economy of 7.65, which is remarkable. He is currently playing for MI Emirates in the ILT20 season.
