Asia Cup 2018, Super 4s: 3 Afghanistan players who can pose a threat to India

#2 Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Mujeeb can pose a potent threat to the Indian openers

Aged just 17, Mujeeb is already rocking the cricketing world. There is a special aura around the young finger spinner. Unlike other off-break bowlers, his stock delivery is ‘Carrom Ball.’ He also has a very good googly in his arsenal.

In the ongoing Asia Cup, Mujeeb has taken wickets in his very first spell in all the four games. Since he is opening the bowling, there is a special ‘Inswing’ like drift associated with his deliveries. As a result, opening batters have struggled against him. An economy of 3.28 is a testament to his exceptional skills.

The Indian batsmen, especially the openers- Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan should play the young spinner with high caution.
