IPL 2023: Best XI from sixth week

8. Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans)

With Rashid Khan leading the spin department of Gujarat Titans, there is no surprise that they have been one of the best teams in terms of spin bowling. The Afghan-based all-rounder has etched his name as one of the greatest spinners in the history of the format. His presence has helped Noor Ahmad to become a quality leg spinner as well.

During their encounter against Rajasthan Royals, Rashid, and Noor destroyed their batting lineup and both picked up five wickets in between them. Talking about Rashid, he picked up three wickets for just 14 runs in his four overs. An economy rate of 3.50 speaks volumes about his impact on the game.

Later on, against the Lucknow Super Giants, Rashid gave away 34 runs in his four overs. During his spell, he picked up the crucial wicket of Quinton de Kock, who was playing beautifully. Adding on, this wicket opened the door for a huge batting collapse for LSG and Rashid Khan was an instrumental contributor in this effort.
