Rashid Khan is enduring an peculiar IPL this yr with the ball when it comes to wickets, however the Gujarat Titans spinner shouldn’t be too bothered in regards to the scalps so long as he can produce economical spells for his workforce.
Rashid has up to now claimed 11 wickets from as many video games at an financial system fee of 6.84, figures which undoubtedly gained’t please him a lot.
But the star Afghan cricketer has taken it in stride.
“While bowling in T20s it’s always great to take wickets but for me, it’s a bit different because I always focus on economy and that is something which puts pressure on the batters,” Rashid mentioned on the post-match digital press convention after GT’s five-run loss to Mumbai Indians on Friday.

“But definitely compared to other IPLs, got less wickets this year. In a couple of games I didn’t bowl as good as I should have. But that’s T20, there is so much for you to learn.” Rashid had a very good recreation in opposition to MI, selecting up 2 for twenty-four apart from amassing three catches.
But it was to not be GT’s day as needing 9 runs within the closing over, they couldn’t end off the chase.
“Hardik and (Rahul) Tewatia’s run outs were the game changers. That is the beauty of T20 sometimes you can score 9 off 2 balls and sometimes you fail in scoring 9 off 6 balls,” Rashid mentioned.
“There is a lot to learn, not to repeat the negative things which we did in the last few games.” MI pacer Daniel Sams, who defended 9 runs within the final over, mentioned he was simply attempting to bowl his finest balls.
“I used to be seeking to bowl my finest balls within the closing overs, form a change the size slightly bit, hold the ball away and bowl good and gradual and bought slightly little bit of dip.
“For me it was a good time to reflect on my performances, what I do really well and execute those on the ground,” mentioned Sams, who completed with figures of 0/18 from his three overs.
