#2 Rashid Khan

The young leg-spinner from Afghanistan has grown by leaps and bound, ever since his first burst onto the scene in 2017. His fast action in the air still makes it difficult for the batsmen to judge his variation off his hand. A force in the reckoning in the game’s shortest format, Rashid Khan has given the much-needed impetus to SRH in their spin bowling department.
With 13 wickets in the 11 matches played so far, Rashid is just behind his teammate at Sunrisers, Siddharth Kaul. A mystery for many, who delivers the ball with utmost consistency, there was no surprise when he was bought back by the franchise for a whopping 9 crores in the IPL auction. If Sunrisers dream of their second IPL title this year, then this leg-spin sensation needs to deliver goods with this continued brilliance.
