IPL 2021: Current best playing XI of the tournament
IPL is full of quality players across franchises.
9. Rashid Khan
An absolute no-brainer for this list, Rashid Khan is considered the best white-ball spinner in today’s time. After impressing everyone in the 2016 T20 WC, SRH picked up the 17-year-old Afghan for INR 3.4 cr to beef up their bowling attack. Since then, he has been the go-to bowler for SRH and delivers more often than not.
He has played 69 matches and taken 85 wickets at a miserly bowling economy of 6.24 runs per over. He has also chipped in with 156 runs at a strike rate of 147.17. Even though the opposition knows he is the biggest threat & tries to play him without taking much risk, Khan manages to take crucial wickets in the middle overs to break the momentum of a team.
He spins the ball both ways at over 90 km/h which is his biggest strength as batsmen don’t have enough time to read him and play accordingly. Still only 22 years old, if he continues to work hard and woo batsmen, don’t be surprised if his name comes in the same breath as Shane Warne & Muttiah Muralidaran.
