Rashid Khan becomes the 'belle of the ball' on Twitter following Zainab Abbas praise

The Indian Premier League gets the best out of every player. The level of competition is so high that players need to remain focus at all times. One over or one poor shot can change the game. The IPL 11 has already witnessed a lot of nail-biting finishes which is a testimony to the level of cricket being displayed in the tournament.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have stacked up their team with a lot of bowlers. Rashid Khan, the leg-spinner from Afghanistan is one of the top bowlers in the country. Except on two occasions, he had bowled exceedingly well and helped his side to defend low totals. Zainab Abbas, sports anchor and presenter of the Pakistan Super League appreciate Rashid Khan on Twitter for his efforts in the IPL.

An IPL contract?

Zainab tweeted:”Rashid Khan on a roll, not many can pick him!” The leggie has troubled the batsmen to a great extent and has picked up wickets at crucial junctures while bowling economical spells. He has been a great asset to Kane Williamson who generally prefers him at the back end of the innings. The fact that SRH hasn’t done well in the batting front has made Rashid Khan an even more important player in the SRH lineup.

Zainab’s tweet did not go well with few of the Pakistan fans and many lashed out at her for commenting on the IPL. Few thought that Zainab was trying to get into the IPL by tweeting about Rashid’s performance. Here are few of the replies to Zainab’s tweet:

The IPL has almost reached the halfway stage and the points table is looking more settled now. There is a tussle among few teams who are on a level with each other on points. With the launch of the transfer window, teams can fill the gaps that they feel will strengthen their setup and provide the edge over the other teams.
