A compact profile of Rashid Khan's Afghanistan career, his Gujarat Titans role and the ODI figures that define his bowling.
Career path
Who is Khan
Rashid Khan's Afghanistan career began with an ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2015, and his leg-break googlies quickly opened doors in top-level franchise cricket. Afghanistan have leaned on his bowling all-round skills, with right-handed batting adding another option to the side. He has played 123 one-day internationals and taken 226 wickets, the core of a career built on leg spin. Now he represents Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League, while also turning out for Lahore Qalandars, Adelaide Strikers and Band-e-Amir Region. That range of teams reflects a career shaped by adaptability as much as by his stock delivery. With Afghanistan duty and franchise cricket both demanding his time, the years ahead will test how he manages a busy workload.
