IPL 2019: 5 Overseas Players who could have a huge impact this year

#2 Rashid Khan (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Rashid Khan

You can’t talk about T20 spinners without mentioning Rashid Khan. The Afghanistan leggie has been absolutely brilliant over the years and he only seems to be getting better every year.

His IPL career has been no different either. Ever since making his debut for the Sunrisers Hyderabad two years ago, he has been phenomenal with the ball and has played a pivotal role for them. The way he covers up his hand while bowling makes it even harder for batsmen to pick him up. Over the years, he has dismissed some of the world’s best batsmen - M.S. Dhoni, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and many more have fallen victim to this young leggie.

If his bowling wasn’t dangerous enough, he has now started working hard on his batting skills and has improved considerably over the years. He now manages to play small cameos for the teams he plays for.

This will also be very useful for SRH heading into the IPL. As I mentioned earlier, he only gets better every year and this could be Rashid Khan's best IPL season.
