England is battling against Australia in the second ODI of their five-match series at Headingley, Leeds. After a tough loss in the first ODI, England is looking to level the series, and they made a solid statement with the ball by bowling Australia out for 270 in 44.4 overs. However, England failed to chase down the target against a strong Australian bowling attack. Leading the charge for England was Adil Rashid, who delivered a standout performance, claiming two crucial wickets in his 10-over spell.

Beyond his contribution to the team's effort, Rashid made history by becoming only the third English bowler to reach 200 ODI wickets. He now joins an elite group, alongside Darren Gough and James Anderson. Notably, Rashid is the first England spinner to achieve this milestone, reaching the mark in just 137 innings.

With 200 wickets under his belt, Rashid is now the third-fastest spinner in ODI history to achieve this feat, trailing only Saqlain Mushtaq (104 innings) and Shane Warne (125 innings).

While Rashid has a long way to go to catch the all-time leader, Sri Lankan legend Muttiah Muralitharan, who holds a record 534 ODI wickets, he stands tall among his contemporaries. Active players like Shakib Al Hasan (317 wickets) and Ravindra Jadeja (220 wickets) are ahead of him.

Adil Rashid made his England debut in 2009 during the T20 World Cup but truly established himself as England's premier white-ball spinner in 2015. He was instrumental in England's 2019 ICC ODI World Cup victory and their 2022 ICC T20 World Cup triumph. Now, with 200 ODI wickets to his name, Rashid’s legacy as one of England's greatest spinners continues to grow.
