IPL 2018: The four Afghan players on show

#3 Zahir Khan Pakteen (Rajasthan Royals)

Zahir Khan will be making his debut in IPL 2018

Zahir is a left arm chinaman bowler who will be making his first appearance in the IPL this year. He was bought by the Rajasthan Royals for INR 60 lakhs after a small bidding exchange with the Mumbai Indians. He has taken 15 wickets in 8 T20 matches at a splendid bowling average of 13.53. Zahir is keen on doing well in the IPL and would like to follow in the footsteps of his fellow countryman Rashid Khan.

The bowler is excited at the prospect of interacting with Shane Warne, who is the mentor of the Rajasthan Royals this year. He will look to make the most of the opportunity and pick up a trick or two from the Australian leg spinning legend.
