Sunrisers Hyderabad registered a berth in the final of IPL 2018 after beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 13 runs in the second qualifier. They will now meet Chennai Super Kings on Sunday for the summit clash. SRH were put into bat first and didn’t really have a good outing untill Rashid Khan came out in the middle. The Afghan player struck a 10-ball 34 to take his side’s total to 174/7 in 20 overs. Later, KKR were cruising towards the total till the 10th over but the leggie once again played a crucial role in pulling back the things for SRH. The Hyderabad franchise eventually won the match in Kolkata.
Even the Matser Blaster hailed Rashid’s performance and made a post on his social media handle that said, “Always felt @rashidkhan_19 was a good spinner but now I wouldn’t hesitate in saying he is the best spinner in the world in this format. Mind you, he’s got some batting skills as well. Great guy..”

I think, this year, Rashid Khan has joined Lasith Malinga and Sunil Narine in the pantheon of #IPL bowlers.
