New Zealand [https://www.essentiallysports.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-new-zealand-schedule/] registered a convincing win over Afghanistan in the ICC World Cup 2019 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-schedule/] at The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton where Afghanistan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-afghanistan-schedule/] managed to put up a mere 172 before they bowled out within 41.1 overs. New Zealand reached the target within 32.1 overs with easy with the loss of 3 wickets. The fight could be tougher if Afghanistan’s key bowler Rashid Khan would be able to take the field. Rashid Khan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rashid-khan/] was not able to bowl against New Zealand as he got struck on the head by a deadly delivery of Lockie Ferguson while batting in the 34th over. He misjudged the ball and got ducked, thinking it was a shorter delivery which collided into his helmet as he turned his head. As a result, Rashid dismissed for a duck. The after effect was a bit scary as Rashid Khan looked a bit disorientated. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson rushed to the batsman while he was walking back, who both plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Afghanistan’s physio checked him well on the pitch before taking him to the pavilion. The mystery spinner, Rashid did not take the field when New Zealand were chasing the total and it is still not clear whether he took the concussion test or he was simply kept out of action as a precaution. Although, it’s expected that the injury is not that much serious as their captain Gulbadin Naib said after the match that Rashid was fine and he will be kept under observation and will be checked by the doctor on Sunday. Afghanistan will play their next game next Saturday, against South Africa in Cardiff, which will give the bowler some time to recover and the captain, Naib said he expected his key player to be fit for their next clash. 

Afghanistan's key bowler Rashid Khan would'nt be able to take the field as he
got hurt on his helmet which became a injury scarefor his team as well.

Rashid Khan Biography

Rashid Khan is a 20-year old bowler hailing from Afghanistan. He first burst onto the scene in 2015 for the ODI and T20 national team. Since then, his career has been on the upsurge and even took over as T20I captain.

Then, in June 2018, he was drafted into the Test team. Though he got battered on his debut against India, Rashid Khan managed to garner 5 wickets against Ireland.

IPL Career

In 2017, Rashid Khan was brought into the IPL fray by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for 4 crores. That year, he showed why he was an in demand player and impressed with the ball.

In his debut season, he picked up 17 wickets in 14 matches with his best figures being 3 wickets for 19 runs. The 20-year old also had a bowling economy of 6.62 that year. In the following year, he was at it again and had identical best figures of 3 wickets for 19 runs.

Rashid Khan boasts of an average economy of 6.54 in his two IPL seasons. He also amassed a total of 38 wickets during those two years.

IPL 2019 Expectations

Now, Rashid Khan has been retained by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for a third season. He has been a valuable asset for the Sunrisers.

With regard to bowling style, he does not possess a big turn of the ball. Instead, he tends to bowl quickly in order to put the batsmen under constant pressure. This kind of action resembles the bowling style of Shahid Afridi. Incidentally, Afridi happens to be Khan's bowling idol.

Rashid Khan also possesses a massive trump card, namely his googly. When he bowls that googly, he does so with deadly accuracy.

Given that Khan has been in terrific form in the last two editions, he will surely deliver in IPL 2019. Also, the fact that he is young, is an added bonus.
