In an exclusive interview to ETV Bharat, Rashid revealed that his tricky bowling action and bowling speed sets him apart from other leg-spinners and help him clinch wickets.

  • "My quick-arm bowling action and speed is different from other leg-spinners and gives meadvantage over them, hence making it difficult for a batsman to read my delivery which ultimately helps me in bagging wickets," Rashid said.

Also, Rashid, who will be participating in the upcoming 12th edition of Indian Premier League, believes that his team Sunrisers Hyderabad are the title contenders and have enough firepower to win the coveted trophy.
