@cricfan90881167, why do you have to bring up about a Pakistani player when Rashid's talent is being acknowledged? Jealousy at its peak.
@Samin not that pak now care about ipl. but many pak players are the best in t20. afridi is still top 5 all rounders in the world. shoaib Malik is still top 10 all time run getters and shadab is one for the future. where has ipl gotten all those teams. eng got destroyed in ind so did aus. aswell as in uae. pal still won the recent odi series with Ind and as well as in asia cup 2014....
Great to see all the world's best players playing for IPL, unlike the other T20 franchises, that are filled with retirees and geriatric players that won't find a place in any professional team.
Seriously, you don't need to hype Afg so much. We understand there is political mileage to be gained out of this just as it was/is with ICC's hyping of BD, but let's not jump the gun too soon.
cricsuer since when did ipl become a benchmark for greatness. the wkts are dead, the ball is the size of football and the boundries are 60m. both have their strengths. but rashid is yet to face good teams but neither has shadab. CT will test shada but will rashid do the same vs pak or ind. just saying. both are 18 so excited for the future.
Coming from a pakistani fan, shadab khan is very good but don't take anything away from rashid Khan he's such a talent and proving his worth
dude your Shadab Khan is not playing in IPL and Pakistan renowned team unlike Afganishtan.. so comparing your shadab with Rashid will only lower pakistan's team.For Afghans Rashid is their pride
There is a better leg spinner on the vrise from Pakistan :Shadab Khan. His spin turns miles with bounce and speed, and his gooly is with the same velocity and trajectory.
