Afghanistan leg spinner Rashid Khan is a key player in the shortest format of the game. His ability to pick up wickets and trouble the batsmen makes him an important bowler as well. However, the leggie has recently taken a hat-trick in the recently concluded Big Bash League game against Sydney Sixers.
Rashid Khan and his hat-trick
Rashid cleaned up Sixers’ James Vince and Jack Edwards in successive balls in the 11th over. While Vince was caught out, the leg-spinner trapped Edwards before the stumps. He came to bowl in the 13th over and bowled Jordan Silk for 16. With this, he recorded the hat-trick and added another cap in his hat.

However, the hat-trick of Rashid Khan came for a losing cause as Sydney Sixers managed to win the game by 2 wickets. Birthday boy Josh Hazlewood smashed three consecutive boundaries to take the team to the finish line. Rashid finished the game with figures of 4 for 22 from his 4 overs.
