The number one bowler in the latest ICC T20 bowlers ranking made a name for himself with Sunrises Hyderabad in the IPL. The leg-spinner from Afghanistan finished as the second highest wicket-taker with 21 wickets in the 2018 edition of the IPL.

The unique combination of precise wrist spin combined with accurate line and length has catapulted the 19-year old youngster to becoming one of the most feared spinners today.

In the 2nd T20 match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh that was played in front of a packed crowd in Dehradun, India (that's the beauty of cricket, isn't it?), Rashid khan's magnificent spell of 4-0-12-4 helped his nation to restrict the Bangladeshis to a mere 134 runs, which the batsmen comfortably chased down.

Rashid maintained a disciplined length and utilized the crease to a great effect. He bowled some pitch-perfect googlies and never allowed the opposition batsmen any room to strike the ball. Crucial players like Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hassan fell prey to Rashid's intelligent bowling.
