Deep Dasgupta has analyzed Rashid KhanIn the 52nd match of IPL 2026 in Jaipur on Saturday, May 09, Gujarat Titans (GT) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) with an extraordinary spell of 4-33 in his four overs. Reflecting on this, Dasgupta said that the Afghanistan spinner stuck to the wicket-to-wicket line, attacking the RR batsmen throughout the match.
Rashid clean bowled Dhruv Jurel, Donovan Ferreira and Shubham Dubey, while in a sensational outing with the ball he trapped Ravindra Jadeja in front of his pads, meaning all his wickets came while attacking the stumps. Dasgupta highlighted that this is what makes the Nangarhar born a very lethal weapon for the Titans.
“Let's see [Shubham] Dubey's wicket [bowled] from over the wicket [to a left-hand batter]. If he makes the ball turn from off-stump or outside off-stump and hits it on middle or off, that is a really good delivery. This was the old, old Rashid of today. If you remember when Rashid was at his best, almost every ball was going on the stumps,” Dasgupta said, via ESPNcricinfo.
He said, “Today, if you look at his four wickets – three bowled and one leg before – and if you look at his hive, you will find that there was a very high percentage of those balls which were hitting the stumps. So that is Rashid Khan at his best. Also, the moment he starts bowling over the wicket to the left-hander and his leg-spin balls hit the stumps, he becomes very dangerous.”
Courtesy the star spinner's talent with the ball, GT has now moved up to second place Mark sheet And have strengthened their position to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, Rashid has now completed 15 wickets in the tournament and has the most wickets as a spinner in the season so far. As the tournament moves towards its conclusion, he will try to give his best performance.
