Rashid was the spearhead of the SRH attack as he single-handedly won them the Qualifier 02 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Rashid scored a quick-fire 10-ball-34 and backed it up with a spell of 3-19 (4) coupled with two catches.

With a plethora of varieties at his disposal, most prominent being the wrong'un, Rashid was successful in choking the batsmen during the middle-overs and amassed 21 wickets at an average of 21.80 and a miserly economy of 6.73.

The mystery spin is the flavor of the season, and with a plethora of power-hitters at Windies disposal, the combo of Khan and Yadav can weave a stranglehold on their famed batting line-up.

Yadav had a great IPL with the Kolkata Knight Riders, as he scalped 17 wickets in sixteen games at an average of 24.58 which included a 4-wicket-haul against the Rajasthan Royals.
