Player of the Match
Rashid Khan | Gujarat Titans
(On masking the googly) Nothing different, just making sure I don’t give any signals for the batters to pick me. I’m trying to minimize the difference between leg spin and googly, holding them the same way. I keep working on it in the nets, want to make it perfect.
Sometimes I lose my lines, with my bowling if I can keep the consistency with line and length then I know the batters will have problems. I just keep it simple, try to understand what I do wrong in games.
It is more to do with my line and length, I bowled a few bad balls and was punished. So I just look back and talk to the video analysts, and work on my pitch maps. (On mentoring Noor Ahmed) It makes it easier, we speak Pashto in the middle. Noor is happy that I’m with him and he’s always someone who listens and puts it the hard work.
(On how many wrist spinners exist in Afghanistan) To be honest, more than 1000 now. I have been to a few academies and there are so many leg spinners. There were 250 of them after my first year of IPL.
Now, I’ve been playing IPL for 6-7 years now, and there are so many in Afghanistan trying to copy me. I receive so many videos everyday of new leg spinners. I’m so happy to see Noor perform here, there are so many more like Qais Ahmed, Zahir Khan who haven’t got their opportunities in IPL but when they do they can perform really well.
