World Cup 2019: Combined underperforming XI of the tournament 

World cup prize moneyAll-rounder: Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan has to be one of the most disappointing all-rounders in this World Cup. Rashid Khan holds a pretty good record when playing against minnows but he just struggles against stronger opponents. Since he participates in T20 leagues around the world, most batsmen have figured out the mystery that is Rashid Khan. Rashid seems like lethal leggie, but when you look at his bowling closely, you will realize that he lacks a lot of variations that most spinners have.

In fact, many commentators and cricket pundits have stated that batsmen should play Rashid Khan as a googly bowler since he mostly bowls googlies. This one-dimensional approach from the Afghan leggie has made him a predictable target. That’s why it was so easy for Eoin Morgan to go after him during England’s clash against Afghanistan. Rashid Khan ended up with the most expensive bowling figures in World Cup history by conceding 110 runs in his 9 overs. His numbers in the entire tournament aren't very good as well. In the 9 games he played, Rashid only managed to score 105 runs and pick up 6 wickets.

Rashid Khan needs to reinvent himself and figure out a new plan of attack against stronger opponents if he is to contribute to Afghanistan’s growth as a cricketing nation in the years to come.
