The young leg-spinner from Afghanistan, Rashid Khan has been one of the most emerging bowlers in world cricket. He has been phenomenal, especially in T20Is and ODIs and he has been a reason of concern for many opponents. His wrong’uns are hard to pick and even the most efficient players of spin bowling have struggled against the young tweaker from Nangarhar, Afghanistan.

Khan is currently standing at the numero position in the ICC T20Is rankings because of his sheer dominance in the shortest format of the game. He has also featured in various domestic T20 leagues around the globe. He also played in this year’s IPL for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and gave the testimony for being one of the best in the business. He also graced his presence in the Big Bash League and the Caribbean Premier League.

Recently, Rashid had the privilege to represent his nation in their historic Test match against India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. However, he couldn’t spin the web in front of the Indian batsmen as he does in the limited overs cricket. After toiling for over four sessions, he could only manage a couple of wickets of Ajinkya Rahane and Ishant Sharma while conceding over 150 runs.

Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has suggested the spinner to get in touch with Anil Kumble in order to refurbish his skills. In his column for Times of India (TOI), Ganguly wrote, “Rashid Khan bowled well in patches and it must have been a good learning exercise for him bowling those long spells. He needs to give the champion [Anil] Kumble a ring as he is not far away.”

Rashid’s bowling has been improving after every passing game in the last couple of years and he has been expected to possess the ingredients to emerge as one of the leading spinners across formats. In the IPL, he gets to learn from the legendary Muttiah Muralitharan. In Afghanistan, he trains under the guidance of former South African pacer Charl Langeveldt.
