Rashid Khan names three best wickets of his career thus far

Young Afghanistani leggie Rashid Khan had a very successful outing in the IPL 2018. Soon after the IPL concluded, Rashid saw himself bagging another top honor. He was awarded the T20 Bowler of the Year award at the CEAT Awards in Mumbai. The way he is improving with every single game certainly speaks volumes about his temperament and character. He is tipped to be a modern day legend of the game.

Recently, he reflected back at his IPL season with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rashid Khan finished the season as the second leading wicket taker, next to Andrew Tye of the Kings XI Punjab. Rashid scalped 21 wickets in the 17 matches that he played in the season at a very impressive economy rate of 6.73.

He took several big wickets in the season including the wickets of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, MS Dhoni, Andre Russell, Chris Lynn, and many more. When asked to pick the wicket that he cherished the most, Rashid Khan remarked that the wickets of AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni remain to be the three biggest wickets of his cricketing career.

“Getting rid of Virat (Kohli), AB (de Villiers) and MS Dhoni was very satisfying. In fact, I consider them the best wickets of my career so far. They are really good players of spin bowling so getting them out made it memorable for me,” Rashid Khan was quoted as saying by Times of India.

On the cricket assignments in hand

After a very successful IPL, Rashid Khan is now expected to be back for international duties. He will be seen in the 3-match T20I series against Bangladesh in Dehradun, India. After the conclusion of the T20I series, team Afghanistan will play against India in their historic first Test match. Certainly, he is not getting enough personal time for his family amidst all the cricket action.

“I have not been able to spend too much time with my family, finding myself with them barely for 15 to 20 days,” he remarked. He, however, hopes that the sacrifices made will be worth the eventual rewards that he gets.
