Born on September 20, 1998, in Nangarhar, Afghanistan, Rashid Khan turns another year older as one of cricket’s most recognizable leg-spinners.
Rashid’s leg-break and googly have troubled batters worldwide, making him a prolific wicket-taker across international and franchise T20 cricket.
He became the fastest bowler at the time to reach 100 ODI wickets, achieving the milestone in just 44 matches.
Rashid became the first bowler to take four wickets in four consecutive deliveries in T20I cricket—an extraordinary milestone in the format.
From a teenage sensation to Afghanistan’s premier spinner, Rashid has played a major role in the country’s rise on the international cricket stage.
