Rashid Khan is the youngest player to top the ICC ODI bowling charts, youngest and fastest to reach 100 ODI wickets, fastest to 50 T20I wickets. During the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier, he became the youngest to captain an international side at the age of 19 years.

These are some of the records that Rashid has achieved in such a short period of time. The Afghani sensation has been on rampage for quite some time now and has single handedly won matches for his side. He is a right-arm leg break bowler who possesses five to six variations.

He bowls at around 90 kph, which makes him different from traditional leg spinners. After missing out last year to Andrew Tye, Rashid is a serious contender for the purple cap this year.
