Gujarat Titans (GT) spinner, Rashid Khan witnessed one of the worst outings with the ball during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Things went from bad to worse for him when he made a terrible mistake near the deep mid-wicket boundary to give a well-set Aiden Markram a lifeline. Markram was batting on 45 off 34 balls before the incident.
SRH was in complete control in the ongoing match against GT on Wednesday (April 27) in Match 40 of the IPL 2022. They raced to 145/3 at the end of 16 overs after Hardik Pandya won the toss and asked them to bat. Aiden Markram was well-set at the crease, batting on 44 off 33 balls, alongside Nicholas Pooran.

Rashid Khan, the GT vice-captain, had an ordinary outing on the field against his previous franchise with the ball. He was largely dominated by Abhishek Sharma, who departed after scoring 65 off 42 balls. Rashid went on to concede as many as 45 off his quota of four overs and failed to take a wicket as well.
The evening for Rashid Khan Kwent bad to worse in the 17th over. Mohammed Shami, who had scalped three wickets already, came into the attack to complete his quota. Markram went to clear the fourth ball, which was banged in short length, over deep mid-wicket.

However, Markram failed to time the ball well and it was supposed to be an easy catch for Rashid, who was well placed there. But the Afghanistani leg-spinner charged in from the boundary line, and a total misjudgment gave away a six. Markram, with the lifeline, completed his fifty.
