Career
Rashid Khan bowls legspin faster than almost anyone has attempted it, with a quick arm and minimal loop, and his googly is close to undetectable from the hand. The combination makes him the most economical wrist spinner in Twenty20 cricket while remaining an attacking option.
He became the face of Afghanistan's rise into the international game, captaining the side while still in his early twenties, and is among the most sought-after players in every franchise league in the world.
Highlights
- Among the most economical and prolific spinners in Twenty20 cricket
- Captained Afghanistan in international cricket in his early twenties
- Central to Gujarat Titans' 2022 IPL title in their debut season
- Reached number one in the ICC T20I bowling rankings
Overview
What the figures show
Bowling is where Rashid Khan's IPL figures sit: 179 wickets between 2017 and 2026 at 24.02 each. The bat has brought 635 runs alongside that, 79 of them in the best single innings.
The seasons break into two spells: Sunrisers Hyderabad (2017–2021) and Gujarat Titans (2022–2026). Most of the runs, 413 of them, came in the Gujarat Titans years. That is a wicket every 20 balls. At 7.28 an over that is 0.89 less than the 8.17 median among the 101 bowlers who have sent down 300 or more IPL balls.
Australia's competition adds 403 T20 runs, made in 46 matches for Adelaide Strikers. The two diverge on pace: 156.4 per hundred balls in the IPL against 150.4 in the Big Bash, a gap of 6 the Indian way. The averages read 13.80 and 11.85. As a bowler the leagues line up at 7.28 an over in the IPL and 6.44 in the Big Bash.
