Sport news: 3 teams that might target Rashid Khan in mega auction
The biggest surprise that came from the retentions was Rashid Khan not being retained by SRH. This was unpredictable and a very big surprise. He has been one of the most consistent players in the league in recent seasons. Very few of the batters were able to pick his variations with his arm speed, in addition, he can also play as a pinch hitter down the order with gun fielding outside the circle.
Now, this is very clear that almost every franchise will show interest in him, and he is a wrist spinner and as per records, they are the most successful ones in the T20s.
Rashid Khan joined SunRisers Hyderabad in his debut season in IPL 2017. The leg spinner performed brilliantly in every season, picking at least 17 wickets in every edition since then. In total the 23-year-old player took 93 wickets in 76 games. Let’s take a glance at.
Three teams that can target Rashid Khan in mega auction
- Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings have retained Mayank Agarwal and Arshdeep Singh for the next season. They also had issues with the problem of having a quality wrist spinner in the previous seasons.
They have had spinners, but they need a well-known and quality spinner to strengthen their bowling unit. They have a tag of being underperformers from the start of the initial season.
They are one of the franchises with a big purse to spend, so they will surely try to get the Afghan. With Anil Kumble being a part of the Management, they will surely show interest in Rashid Khan.
