Rashid Khan
Just a year and a half making his national debut, Rashid featured in the 2017 IPL Auction and became the first player to represent Afghanistan IPL.
Soon his countryman, former Afghanistan skipper Mohammed Nabi, was also picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rashid was bought for Rs.4 Crores which is the highest price for any player from an Associate Nation.
Rashid Khan repaid his team by picking 17 crucial wickets with an economy rate of just 6.63 runs per over. Khan hoodwinked batsmen like Eoin Morgan, Shaun Marsh and other overseas players with his leg-breaks and googlies.
