Rashid Khan had an underwhelming 2025 IPL season based on his lofty standards. The Afghanistan superstar played 15 times but only managed to take nine wickets in the tournament at an economy rate of 9.34. Before that he took only 10 wickets back in 2024.

The spinner, however, remains one of the greatest bowlers in T20 cricket and will be determined to set the record straight this time around. Rashid comes into the 2026 IPL season on the back of a decent run in the T20 World Cup where he took six wickets from four games. 

The 27-year-old took 2 for 28 against South Africa at the T20 World Cup on GT’s home ground of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
