IPL 2023: Best XI from first week
Certain gun players brought their A-game into play in the first week of IPL 2023.
8. Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan has been a giant of a player in the T20 circuit. He bamboozled batters with his variations and wreaked havoc with the ball. The ace spinner has featured in 393 T20 matches and taken a staggering tally of 533 wickets at an economy of 6.38. Further, he is no muck with the bat and has played some match-winning knocks for his side.
Rashid has weaved his magic in the IPL arena and bagged 117 wickets at an economy of 6.39. On the batting front, he has scored 323 runs at a strike rate of 154.55. The flamboyant cricketer has been terrific with the ball in the ongoing season, too and picked up five wickets in two games at an economy of 7.12.
When Gujarat Titans crossed swords against Chennai Super Kings in the opening match of IPL 2023, Rashid dismissed Moenn Ali and Ben Stokes to dent the opposition’s progress. Also, he played a quick cameo of 10* runs off three balls to take his team across the line. The Nangarhar-born was adjudged the Player of the Match for his splendid performance.
