IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: Hits and Misses

#4 Miss: Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan went for 55 runs in his four overs, which is the most that he has conceded in a T20 game.

The rise of Rashid Khan has been phenomenal. He’s been one of the most difficult bowlers to face in limited-overs cricket in recent times.

Batsmen have time and again failed to pick him. After a successful debut IPL, SRH used their RTM card for the Afghanistan star for a whopping sum of Rs 9 crore.

Khan has been very good in this IPL and despite not taking a lot of wickets, he has kept the batsmen in check. However, after three good games, the 19-year-old went the distance as he bore the brunt of a rampaging Gayle.

He came into bowl in the fifth over of the innings and was hit for two sixes. But after an expensive first over, the Afghanistan leggie came back well as he picked up the wicket of KL Rahul and conceded just two runs in his second over.

But Gayle got stuck into Khan in his third over as the West Indian opener smashed him for four consecutive sixes.

He came back to bowl in the final over and this time he was hit for a four and a six by Aaron Finch as the 19-year-old leggie was taken for 13 runs in his final over.

His figures were 1/55 in four overs as the No. 1 T20I bowler (and the No. 2 ODI bowler) was taken for plenty and had a rare off-day.
