Siddarth Kaul Congratulates Teammate Rashid Khan as his Stellar Performance Guides Afghanistan to a Series Win

Afghanistan Cricket team spinner, Rashid Khan continues to torment Bangladesh as he guided his team to the series win in three-match T20I series with one game left.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan defeated the Tigers by four wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Dehradun. Rashid has been on a different planet as he continued with his heroics. His 4-fer restricted the Tigers to a modest 134 for 8 which almost sealed the fate of the game.

Batting first, Bangladesh lost track in the middle-overs as the young leg-spinner derailed them. Bangladesh fell from 101 for 4 in 15 overs to 108 for 8 in 18 overs courtesy Rashid’s 4 for 12. In the end, they could only manage 134 runs.

However, a disciplined show from Bangladesh bowlers early on revived their faint hopes for a while but in the end, Afghanistan chased down the total quite comfortably. Afghanistan managed to register 56 for 1 at the halfway mark losing the wicket of Mohammad Shahzad.

Some late hitting from Mohammad Nabi (31* off 15) took them over the rope while Samiullah Shenwari (49) provided stability.

Kaul’s congratulatory message

Rashid’s spectacular show grabbed eyeballs of cricket fans all over the globe and Siddarth Kaul was no unusual. He lauded his teammate from Sunrisers Hyderabad for making a habit of winning games.

The 19-year-old has already bagged 7 wickets from two games with an outstanding economy. Moreover, he will be a force for the Afghans in the upcoming Test match against India.

“His name is Khan and he is an absolute champion. Congratulations bro @rashidkhan_19 for another man of the match award. You are making it a habit and shout out to @ACBofficials for bagging the series with one game to go. #AFGvBAN,” the tweet read.
