His performance also helped his team win their maiden CPL title.
A Gujarat Titans star spinner gave a display of his tremendous talent once again, this time in the recently-concluded Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2024).
The GT star, who was plying his trade for the latest CPL winners Saint Lucia Kings, took a magnificent haul of 22 scalps in the season.
In the process, Afghanistan’s Noor Ahmad is now the joint second-highest wicket-taker in a single CPL season, alongside Fawad Ahmed (Trinbago Knight Riders, 2018), Hayden Walsh (Barbados Tridents, 2019).
Veteran West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who recently announced his retirement from all forms of his cricket takes the apex spot in the list with 28 wickets to his name during the 2015 CPL season.
Noor Ahmad also put up an emphatic display in the CPL 2024 summit clash last night, taking three wickets to help the Saint Lucia Kings win their maiden CPL title after outclassing Guyana Amazon Warriors
