8. Rashid Khan

After having fantastic five seasons in the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan joined GT in 2022 at a whopping amount of INR 15 crore. Showing faith in his leg-break bowling and batting style in the lower order, the franchise expected him to strengthen the team.

Serving his new franchise, the 24-year-old showcased his power with the ball grabbing 19 scalps in 16 games at a mind-boggling economy of 6.59. Against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the leggie helped his team to register a comprehensive win by delivering his best spell of the season (4/24 spell in 3.5 overs).

Apart from bowling, the swashbuckling Afghan player looked spunky with the bat too. For his fearless batting against CSK and his former franchise SRH, the youngster received a lot of appreciation. In a thrilling five-wicket victory over the Sunrisers, Khan played the role of a finisher chipping in with 31 runs off 11 balls. In the next edition of the tournament, the franchise will need his all-round skills again to succeed in defending the title.
