IPL 2021: Best XI from the third week
The article has been covered based on match no 17-25.
8. Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan stands second in the list of ICC T20 Bowlers rankings. The Afghan bowler has been the most difficult bowler to face since his inclusion in the Sunrisers squad. But, this time, the Hyderabad-based franchise has been unable to cash in during crucial situations. Even after a poor performance from his squad, Rashid has been unplayable.
During the third week of the tournament, SRH faced DC which resulted in a Super Over. Rashid picked up a wicket from his four overs and ensured that DC batsmen had to struggle for every run against him. Against CSK, he was a bit expensive, but he managed to pick up all the three CSK wickets in that game.
Against CSK, Rashid bowled at an economy of 9 runs per over. Even though Faf and Ruturaj were able to tackle him, Rashid had the last laugh. He bowled at an economy rate of 8.3 runs per over and picked 4 wickets during the third week. This is a great effort from the leg spinner as most of the players were hammered by the batsmen. In this team, he could bowl in tandem with Jadeja.
