Sunrisers Hyderabad’s mystery spinner Rashid Khan has been one of the most valuable assets in Dream11 IPL 2020. The 22-year-old was unplayable at times during the latest edition of Dream11 IPL. The leggie has immense control over his length and he doesn’t hand easy pickings to the oppositions. Rashid Khan is tipped to be the next great spinner in world cricket.

“I remember an incident from maybe two years ago when they asked for a trade of Rashid khan. They are the only franchise who have had the gumption or the bravado to knock on the door and ask for a trade of Rashid” said Tom Moody. Moody also explained how other franchises miss out on intensity and confidence when it comes to trading players. “A lot of teams run a lot leaner than Mumbai Indians. The support staff at SRH is actually half of what MI’s is” added Moody.

Mumbai Indians getting an addition of Rashid Khan in the bowling lineup would have been a nightmare for the opposition team with bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult already being on the team sheet. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians successfully defended their IPL title, beating Delhi capitals by five wickets on Tuesday in Dubai for their 5th IPL title. Correspondingly, they also became the second IPL team to defend their title with only Chennai Super Kings doing it before in 2011.
