IPL 2022: Best overseas XI from the seventh week

9. Rashid Khan (GT)

One of the most sought after players in T20 cricket, Rashid Khan has evolved into a dependable all-rounder off late. This season itself he has scored runs at crucial times and has formed a dangerous finishing pair with Rahul Tewatia. This week he played only one game and it was against LSG where he was phenomenal with the ball.

Gujarat Titans had only scored 144 runs, and opposition team LSG would have fancied their chances to chase it down easily and take the first playoffs berth. However, Rashid had different plans. He broke the back of LSG’s batting order and picked up four wickets. He gave away only 24 runs in 3.5 overs.

Apart from batting and bowling, Rashid had impressed everyone with his captaincy skills too whenever regular skipper Hardik Pandya was out with injury. As Gujarat Titans gear up for the playoffs, Rashid’s form is going to be crucial for his team’s success.
