A video of the Afghanistani cricketer playing gully cricket with fans of the game in India with the caption “Rashid Khan playing street cricket with the Indian fans. One of the most humble characters of the game!” took the internet by storm.

Khan has managed to scalp 15 wickets already this season in the 9 outings he has been part of this season.

Khan did not have to wait too long for his first wicket of the season as he managed to dismiss two batsmen in the curtain riser against Chennai Super Kings, before picking up back-to-back three-wicket hauls against Delhi Capitals and the Kolkata Knight Riders.

He returned from the game against Punjab Kings with a solitary wicket before doubling it in his next game against Rajasthan Royals.

The game against Lucknow Super Giants ended with Khan picking up a wicket before his exploits against Mumbai Indians in which he claimed a double scalp.

GT’s visit to Eden Gardens to take on KKR for their second head-to-head of the season marked Khan’s first wicket-less game in the ongoing campaign, but he managed to pick up a wicket in GT’s home game against DC, despite the defending champions finishing on the losing side.
