Kabul: Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan is an Indian favorite. He has been sensational in cricket’s shortest format by picking up wickets for franchisees all over the world. He is probably the most unique spinner in the current era. In a recent interview, Rashid said that De Villiers, Dhoni, and Kohli are the three batsmen against whom he likes bowling the most.
Currently, the no.2 T20 bowler in the world, Rashid Khan does not believe in thinking of records. He said, “I just want to play cricket whether it’s five ten, or 15 years. I don’t keep a count of wickets, I just focus on performing well for the team and win matches. What’s done in the past is gone and I focus on the present and try to help the team win.”
“I focus on smaller targets and that helps achieve bigger targets then. If I become obsessed with bigger targets, such as picking up 400 wickets then that could bring extra pressure on me which could impact my performance. That is why I keep things simple and focus on my job and whatever is going to happen will happen.
“I think variation that spinners bring into play is helping them find more success. Nowadays every spinner has so many variations they bowl leg-spin, wrong’un, slider, flipper and so batsmen get troubled because of it. Variations helped spinners feature among the top 10 bowlers. They are smart that is why they are featuring among the top.” Rashid concluded.
