#3. Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)
The wonder-boy from Afghanistan has been the flag-bearer for his nation in terms of global recognition in the world of cricket. Rashid Khan who is ranked No.1 in T20I rankings for bowlers has grown in stature with every passing game. Being a T20 freelancer, he boasts of the vast experience of playing in various T20 leagues around the globe which augurs well for his success in the limited overs format.
His success is not limited only to T20s, in fact, he has done well for Afghanistan even in ODIs being their most valuable player in the team. The 20-year old is also world No.3 in ODIs and has played a major role for Afghanistan scaling such heights in a short duration of time. He has been their trump card and is renowned worldwide for his command over the art of leg-spin bowling.
Even in this World Cup, Rashid will be at the heart of things and if Afghanistan are to spring any surprises, the leg-spinner will have to extend his good run of play as the leader of the attack.
