Rashid Khan is a world-class spinner in white-ball cricket. He has been helping Afghanistan win cricket matches on the international front. His team’s 2023 ODI World Cup triumph and 2024 T20 World Cup semifinal performance were both greatly aided by Rashid. Rashid has been consistently outperformed by a select few batters. However, he didn’t perform at his peak in the first ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match.
An unexpected statement regarding the seasoned spinner was made by Varun Aaron, a former Indian star. He claims that Rashid does well against weaker teams and struggles against strong opponents in the fifty-over format.
“Rashid Khan wins wickets in one-day internationals against smaller teams rather than fierce rivals.
The top players in the many T20 leagues he participates in around the world are aware of his bowling and avoid giving him their wickets, he stated on Sports18.
Rashid has taken 199 ODI wickets at an almost 20-run average in 113 outings. At 4.21 economy, he has surrendered runs. Afghanistan is now playing England in the Champions Trophy 2025, and Rashid Khan dismissed Ben Duckett for just 38 runs. It should be mentioned that Ducket scored 165 runs in an incredible innings during the most recent match against Australia.
Piyush Chawla kept quiet because he was surprised by Varun’s viewpoint. “You’re saying that he has taken a significant number of ODI wickets against associate nations,” he remarked.
