In an era of aggressive T20 cricket that constantly puts boundaries on tape and speeds up boundaries more often than not you have had one bowler who has stood tall and made an old soul Rashid Khan. Yes, he is more than just a leg-spinner who works magic on the ball and a revolutionary of spin bowling in this format.
A Journey of Hard Work

tales about Rashid Khan are about struggle and self-belief. Born in Afghanistan, if there were cricket brains in Kabul only 50 in number and those countries boasting of limited chance for the game was a struggle not to have an identity. The transformation from local to a T20 global superstar is nothing more than a fluke. The story he tells shows that if you are passionate, hardworking, and dedicated you can turn your dreams into reality.

A Record-Breaking Career

Rashid is definitely the best-ever T20 bowler of all time. Holding 631 wickets in 460 matches he is synonymous to the game. I know I am special because it is not all about the number of wickets but how he gets them. His economy rate of 6.49 says it all, he is accurate as hell with the ball and that is very hard to find in a format where runs come at break neck speed.

With a bowling average of 18.08, Rashid is not simply another bowler who play in the way of runs, he has proven himself not only as a reliable 'ferocious' wicket source but also a partner breaker and match transformer in Test Cricket. Optimum getting the beat, deceptive googly and outthink batsmen make him one of the most dangerous spinners worldwide.
