Undoubtedly the biggest threat for Team India will be Rashid Khan. The young spin sensation has taken the world by storm with some unbelievable bowling performances. Batsmen all over the world have struggled to read his bowling.

Rashid has picked up 100 wickets in just 44 ODIs. He has been in a rich vein of form finishing as the second highest wicket-taker of the IPL and becoming the man-of-the-series in the T20 series against Bangladesh.

Rashid's first class record will worry the Indian team. He has taken 35 wickets in just 4 matches in first class cricket, which shows that he is equally potent in the longer format. Indian team management will surely be making plans on how to tackle Rashid Khan, as negotiating him successfully will be half the battle won.
