Rashid Khan boost for GT in IPL 2024
Tucker was Rashid Khan’s first victim in the fourth delivery of the 8th over. The spinner struck in the very next delivery yet again, leaving him on a hat-trick. However, it took as many as six overs for Rashid to get is next wicket, and a delivery-gap later to pick his 4th scalp. He finished the game with a spell of 4/14.
Rashid Khan made an impact with the bat as well. Coming in to bat as one of the tailenders, the GT star played a fiery 12-ball 25 runs. Including a no-look six, Rashid smashed three fours and one six, propelling AFG to 159 runs.

Rashid Khan and IPL 2024
Rashid’s injury prevented him from participating in a number of competitions and tours, such as the SA20, the Big Bash League, Afghanistan’s series against the UAE, India, and Sri Lanka, and the Test and ODI matches against Ireland.
The spinner will be a key factor for GT, specially with new skipper Shubman Gill at the helm of the team for the first time.
