The young spinner has won adoration worldwide with his bowling performances

20-years Old prodigy, who hails from Afghanistan, has shocked the world with his accurate googlies and control over leg-breaks at such a tender age. He has been phenomenal in the success of Afghanistan over the years at international circuit. He is currently 2nd rank holder in ICC Rankings.

Bagging million dollar contract in the most followed cricket league Indian Premier League to playing for all the biggest t-20 leagues in the world including the Big Bash, Rashid has gained huge experience over the years and has the understanding of playing in various conditions. Playing his maiden ODI in the Caribbean, he wreaked havoc with his sensational bowling figures 7/18; the fourth-best haul in ODI cricket.

Rashid Khan also surpassed the record previously held by Mitchell Starc (52 Innings) of fastest 100 wickets in ODI in 44 innings. Accurate Googly is his unique weapon which is always aimed at the stumps, a slight mistake in judgment and batsman back into the dug-out. He is a terrific fielder in the deep and a very capable batsman of clearing the boundaries anywhere in the world.

He has the capacity and hunger to succeed at the world stage and some has already been demonstrated but it would be a stern test for the teenager in the upcoming world cup to face the top nations. He just doesn’t have anything to lose here but has everything to learn.
