The outstanding leg-spinner from Afghanistan, Rashid Khan has been a consistent performer with the ball in IPL since his debut.

The Afghan spinner's bowling exploits are known to everyone but in recent times, he has also evolved as a batsman. He has shown his brilliance with the bat in international cricket and in various T20 leagues all over the world.

So far, Rashid has not got enough opportunities to showcase his batting in the IPL. But last season, he played a crucial cameo against KKR in the second qualifier where he smashed 34 runs off just 10 to help SRH to put up a winning target of 174 on the board.

It will be fascinating to see how SRH utilize Rashid Khan's batting ability in the forthcoming season of IPL. It will be worth watching the 20-year-old with both bat and ball in the tournament.
