The man of the hour, Rashid Khan, will be looking to put Afghanistan on the global map come next year. With 100 wickets in just 44 matches, he became the fastest and youngest bowler to take 100 wickets in ODIs.

Khan made his debut in 2015 at the age of 17 and since the has become one of the best leg break bowlers of this generation.

Not just a spin bowler, he is remarkably agile on the field well capable of putting in dives and saving crucial runs.

Even with the bat, his performances in IPL were duly appreciated when his cameos at sporadic occasions were significant in taking his team all the way.

Rashid is currently ranked first in T20 Internationals and second in ODIs and with him leading the charge of Afghanistan bowling lineup at the World Cup next year, there is no doubt he is only going to get better and stronger.
