There is no doubt about the fact that Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan is the next big thing in international cricket. The way he has bowled in both 50 overs format and the T20 format speaks volume about a 20-year-old who has already made himself one of the finest cricketers of his generation. He is a brilliant bowler especially in the limited overs format which has reflected in the ICC Rankings for bowlers.

He has also scored some handy runs for Afghanistan coming late in the batting order. Rashid has a wide range of shots up his sleeve and can really give a hammer to the opposition bowlers. Rashid Khan has been a hot pick in all the T20 Leagues which are played throughout the world. He has bamboozled top-class batsmen with his variations. The pace at which he bowls is very difficult for a batsman to pick especially when it comes to limited overs cricket.

Courtesy the exceptional all-round skills he has been elevated as the No. 1 all-rounder in ODI cricket. He is also the 2nd ranked bowler in ODI cricket to back with his No 1 rankings in the T20I format. Rashid expressed his delight and took to his twitter handle and stated he was privileged to be leading the charts.

He also contributed some vital runs as Afghanistan made it to the Super 4. Finally, they had to bow out of the tournament after losing two close matches against Pakistan and Bangladesh. However, they managed to tie the game against India which will give them huge confidence.
