Rashid Khan has not played at his most menacing level as he has in previous years and has been off-colour with the ball this season. The finger-spinner Sai Kishore has taken over the spin department in his absence, and with 12 wickets, he is tied for second place in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. His performance for Gujarat Titans (GT) has been impressive.
Rashid’s greatest performance this season, however, came against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where he finished with 2/25.
The team never questioned Rashid Khan’s skills, according to Sai Kishore, despite his subpar tournament performance.
It is so wonderful to have him back. Collectively, we never questioned him or his skills. In terms of T20 bowling, he is the world’s finest. Although I’m not really sure of the numbers, I think he’s definitely in the running for the most wickets in the format. “It’s nice to have him back,” Sai Kishore stated at the news conference following GT’s 39-run victory over KKR in Kolkata.
With 12 points from six games after this victory, GT further solidified their lead. On April 28 (Monday), they will meet the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur.
