Dubai: SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) spinner Rashid Khan revealed that a phone call with his mother changed his mind and his career.
Rashid Khan’s Journey
In a video that was shared by SRH’s official Twitter account, Rashid Khan spoke about his journey from the national team to IPL.
Narrating an incident, the spinner said that he was about to leave the cricket. However, after a phone call with his mother, he changed his mind.
He said: “I was selected in the Afghanistan-A team, I joined the camp but couldn’t play any games. They took me off the team. I was also about to quit cricket. My older brother was very angry and told me to quit cricket and focus on my studies. Then I called my mom and she told me to go and enjoy the game. Whatever the result, if you don’t make it tomorrow too, don’t think about quitting cricket. “
Following his mother’s motivation, Rashid Khan took 21 wickets in three matches in the national competition.
Later, he had a chance on the national team.
Rashid Khan’s performance in IPL
Currently, Rashid Khan is playing in IPL as a spinner for SRH.
In yesterday’s game against Delhi Capitals (DC), he took three wickets in four overs and gave only seven runs.
Rashid boasted an economy of 1.80 at the end of the match, reflecting his reputation as one of the hardest bowlers to score in T20 cricket. Interestingly, he boasts an economy of 5.00 over 12 games, the lowest for any bowler in the top five tallest carriers this season by a considerable distance. The second lowest economy among bowlers on that list is Rajasthan Royal’s fast bowler Jofra Archer’s 6.71.
