MUMBAI: While criticism has mounted over spinner Rashid Khan's inability to provide the sucker-punch with his bowling for his franchise Gujarat Titans in the current edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), it can't be denied that what he hasn't been unable to achieve with his bowling, the 23-year-old is trying to do that with the bat this year.
Rashid has played match-winning knocks for Gujarat against against Chennai Super Kings (40 off 21) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (31 not out off 11) under pressure situations. However, the premier leg-spinner has picked only eight wickets in eight matches with an economy of 7.09 for the Hardik Pandya-led Gujara in the ongoing season .
