Spinner: Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
This 19-year-old leggie from Afghanistan has shown some great character in this season. A leg-spinner is the heart of a T20 side. No other bowler can compensate for the variety of a leg-spinner.
How good has Rashid proved to be in this year's IPL? He can bowl those unplayable wrong-uns. He can tonk a few out of the part. He can grab those stunning catches as well. The 19-year-old Afghan finished second in the top wicket-taker list of the season.
From 17 matches that he played, Rashid grabbed 21 wickets at a strike-rate of 19.42, an average of 21.80, and a controlled economy of 6.73. He also notched up some crucial runs in the tournament. He smashed a match-winning knock of 34 runs off just 10 balls in the second qualifier against KKR.
