Rashid Khan, who is one of the greatest all-rounders in world cricket right now, has shown his class in the ongoing Pakistan Super League tournament by playing some incredible shots for the Lahore Qalandars.

Rashid Khan came in to bat at number seven and smashed 17 runs off four balls. He hit one four and two sixes, one of them was a no-look six. David Wiese supported him with a five-ball 13, smacking two sixes in his brief cameo.
Although the Lahore Qalandars played so well, they lost the match by five wickets eventually. Shan Masood stole the show for the Multan Sultans, scoring 50-ball 83.
Captain Mohammad Rizwan backed him up with a 42-ball 69. In the end, Khushdil Shah turned the tables with a 4-ball 18, hitting three fours and a six. His innings ensured that the defending champions of PSL 2022 won the match with five wickets and two balls to spare.
