Lahore Qalandars star Rashid Khan came into the limelight after smashing a no-look six in the 2022 edition of the Pakistan Super League. Many fans know Rashid because of his leg-spin bowling, but of late, he has wowed everyone with his batting skills as well. His no-look six has impressed many fans.
In an interview with Cricket Pakistan earlier today, Rashid Khan spoke about his batting performances, especially the no-look six. He clarified that it is not a helicopter shot. The helicopter shot is a trademark shot of former Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni. He played that shot against fast bowlers who would fire yorkers at him in the slog overs.
When asked to elaborate on his no-look six, Rashid Khan replied:
“It is not a helicopter shot because it is a bit different. I have always had strong wrists and that is what I utilise – it is basically just a flick shot. I have put in effort in my bowling; be it my balance, head position, and other fundamental things. Hopefully, I can keep this form going.”
Rashid Khan will play for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022
While Khan is currently playing for the Lahore Qalandars in the 2022 edition of the Pakistan Super League, he will soon be in action playing for the Gujarat Titans in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. The Ahmedabad-based franchise signed Rashid as their first overseas player ahead of the IPL 2022 Auction.
Khan previously played for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team. He played five seasons for the team from 2017 to 2022 and is now ready to don the Gujarat Titans jersey. For the first time in his career, Khan will play under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. The combination of Hardik and Rashid can destroy any team in the world, making Gujarat Titans one of the favorites to win IPL 2022.
