IPL 2023: 5 teams that might target Adil Rashid at auction
Adil Rashid is a world-class spinner and has set the international arena on fire with his sensational performances
2. Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants have the likes of Ravi Bishnoi, Krunal Pandya, and Krishnappa Gowtham in their spin-bowling department. Bishnoi is known for his wicket-taking abilities while Krunal and Gowtham are known to stem the flow of runs with their impeccable lines and lengths.
Bishnoi was not at his wicket-taking best in the last season and could manage 13 wickets in 14 games at an economy of 8.44. Given Krunal and Gowtham are not aggressive bowlers, LSG could ponder over adding a wrist spinner in their ranks to add more bite to the bowling, and someone of Rashid’s caliber could be a great choice.
The 34-year-old has been a proven performer in the shortest format of the game and has taken wickets in heaps. Also, he has shown the ability to bowl at any phase of the game and thus, gives the captain more options on the field. Therefore, Rashid is an asset to any side and Lucknow might look to have him at their disposal.
