In the past, he has shown the world his batting capabilities as well. He has contributed several vital runs in the T20 leagues all around the world. While speaking on The Curtly and Karishma Show, the all-rounder opened up on his batting skills and how initially he started as a batter, before focusing on leg-spin in the latter part of the years.

“From the last two and a half years, I have been working a lot on my batting so that I can contribute 20-25 quick runs in the lower order. Hopefully, in the next few years, I can take the number four or number five position in the batting lineup,” said Rashid Khan.

“Yes, I think I love Test cricket and I enjoyed the last five Test games I played against different teams and I think it gives me lots of opportunity to improve my skills in that and that is the kind of format which improves your cricket. You know, in T20 you cannot experiment like you cannot do different things because you don’t have enough time, but Test cricket tests your skills. You know like how can you bowl a spell of 20 overs, how can you bowl a spell of 30,” he further added.
