IPL 2021: Best combined XI of all teams ahead of the season

9. Rashid Khan

The 3^rd SRH player on the list, Rashid Khan is arguably the best T20 bowler in the world at present and this team wouldn’t have been complete without him. The leg spinner has successfully put his country on the cricketing map and batsmen still struggle to pick his deliveries even though he has been on the scene for nearly 5 years now.

The Afghanistan bowler was excellent last season as he picked up 20 wickets in 16 games at a strike rate of 19.2. The fact his economy rate was just 5.37 despite playing every game shows how good he is. He can bowl at any stage of the game, and David Warner often turns to him when he needs a wicket.

Rashid has picked up 75 wickets in 62 games at a strike rate of 19.68 while conceding at just 6.24. His economy rate has never gone past 6.8 in a season, and he has never failed to pick up 17 or more wickets, showing how effective he is at both the aspects of bowling.
