Out of all the stories that emerge from International cricket, Rashid Khan's rise in ranks must be right on top of that list.

The leg-spinner from Afghanistan made his IPL debut for SRH in IPL 2017, becoming only the second Afghani player to play in IPL. Rashid picked up 17 wickets in the tournament and helped his team reach the playoffs. He was bought by the SRH in the IPL 2018 auctions for Rs 9 cr using the RTM card.

The 19-year-old was right on the money in their opening game against RR as he finished with figures 4-0-23-1 and also took two exceptional catches diving forward.

Ad

Rashid Khan was the most economical bowler for SRH in the two matches they played against MI last season. His figures against MI read 8-0-41-2.

Given his ability to stem the flow of the runs during the middle overs, SRH would expect the leggie to put in similar kind of performance today and contain strong MI middle-order from getting going.
