Rashid Khan is facing a simple IPL with the ball in terms of wickets this year, but the Gujarat Titans spinner doesn’t care about stats as long as he can create economical spells for his team. Rashid has so far taken 11 wickets in as many matches at an economy rate of 6.84, which certainly won’t please him much.
But the star Afghan cricketer has taken it forward.
Rashid said in a post-match virtual press conference after GT’s five-wicket haul, “It’s always good to take wickets while bowling in T20s, but for me it’s a little different because I always focus on the economy and that’s something.” It’s something that puts pressure on the batsmen.” Mumbai Indians lost on Friday.
“But of course compared to other IPLs, got fewer wickets this year. In some matches I didn’t bowl as well as I should have. But that’s T20, there’s a lot for you to learn.” Rashid had a good game against MI, taking two wickets for 24 runs apart from taking three catches.
But it was not GT’s day as nine runs were needed from the final over, they could not finish the chase.
Rashid said, “Hardik and (Rahul) Tewatia’s run outs were game changers. The beauty of T20 is that sometimes you can score 9 runs in 2 balls and sometimes you fail to score 9 runs off 6 balls. “
Not to repeat the negative things we have done in the last few matches, but there is a lot to learn. Mi Pacer Daniel SamsoThe nine-run defender in the final over said he was just trying to bowl his best.
“I was looking to bowl my best deliveries in the final overs, like changing the length a bit, keeping the ball away and bowling nice and slow and dipping a bit.

“It was a good time for me to reflect on my performances, what I do really well and execute those on the ground,” Sams finished with figures of 0/18 in his three overs.
