IPL 2018, Qualifier 2, KKR vs SRH: 5 talking points

#3 Rashid Khan surprises everyone with the bat

Rashid Khan turned on the swagger with his bat tonight, scoring 34 off just 10 balls

Putting the likes of Deepak Hooda, Yusuf Pathan, and Carlos Brathwaite to shame, Rashid Khan served a big surprise at the Eden Gardens tonight, with his amazing unbeaten knock of 34 off just 10 balls, showing the team's designated big-hitters on getting the job done in the death overs.

The Afghan spinner has had a terrific IPL season with the ball, but the 19-year-old showed that he has the potential to hurt the opposition with the bat as well.

He hit 4 huge sixes, yet, what was wonderful to see was the fact that he watched the ball closely before launching into his shots.

It was a wonderful cameo that firmly shifted the momentum in favour of SRH, as 50 runs were scored in the final three overs to help the visitors post a very good total of 174 in their 20 overs.
