The Afghan sensation Rashid Khan has been setting IPL on fire since 2016 with his exceptional bowling. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 20-year old has mustered 38 wickets in 31 matches at an economy of 6.69. His 3/19 against KXIP last season are his best figures in the tournament.

His team, Afghanistan, in March this year reached the finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier to seal a berth in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. With Afghanistan playing only their second World Cup, they will try their best to put in a great performance.

Hence, it is more likely that Rashid Khan, their best player, will be asked to take some rest before the World Cup. Thus Rashid may miss some games for SRH. If that takes place, the absence of Rashid will be a huge blow for Sunrisers Hyderabad whose strength over the years has been their highly potent bowling.
