He scalped two wickets against KKR last night.
Gujarat Titans (GT) player Sai Kishore has given it back to England’s Nick Knight for raising questions on Rashid Khan’s form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
“What about Rashid Khan? Your spin twin. It hasn’t been the ideal tournament for him. But a couple of wickets in crucial time, how’s it going for him?” he asked Kishore in the post-match presentation.
The 28-year-old hailed Rashid as one of the best bowlers in the T20 format. He stated that the Titans squad has full faith in the Afghanistan spinner, irrespective of the commentators’ discussions. Kishore also acknowledged his comeback against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after a rough patch in the latest matches.
“He’s one of the best T20 bowlers in the world. He’s getting his wicket-taking knack back. As a team, we don’t doubt his abilities, I don’t know what it’s like in the commentary box. We all believe in him and I still believe he’s the best T20 bowler in the world,” he said.
Notably, Rashid registered his best figures last night this season so far. The leg-spinner scalped two wickets at an impressive economy of 6.25 in his four overs against KKR.
