Just when the batsmen think that they figured out a bowler, there is always more to the game than meets the eye. Even former cricketers and Pundits have a way of analyzing a particular bowler such as the Afghanistan cricketer Rashid Khan. Aussie spinner Brad Hogg thought he had figured him out, but Rashid made sure that’s not true during a BBL game.
The former Australian cricketer thought that he has understood the deliveries of Rashid Khan, but the SRH star has a similar action for both the Googly and the Leg Spinner and that makes him quite tough to read. He has a plethora of tricks in his bowling and all these variations helped him keep getting him wickets.
