Narine reached this significant mark during the beginning of his second over when Colin Ingram, a left-handed batsman from South Africa, was caught out by Sam Curran at deep mid-wicket. This wicket put Glamorgan at 75 for three in their pursuit of a target of 237 for victory.
By the end of his spell, Narine had figures of one for 34 from four overs as Glamorgan could mange just 171-8 in their allotted 20 overs.
Dwayne Bravo, Narine’s compatriot from Trinidad and former teammate in the West Indies team, was the first bowler to achieve the 500-wicket milestone in T20 cricket. Bravo currently holds the record with 615 wickets. Rashid Khan, the leg-spinner from Afghanistan, is in second place on the all-time list with an impressive tally of 555 wickets.
In the ongoing season for Surrey, Narine has taken 11 wickets in seven matches. However, he faced challenges during the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL), where he picked only 11 wickets in 14 matches.
