Delhi: Gujarat Titans (GT) star leg spinner Rashid Khan is considered an expert player of T20 cricket. But when he comes down to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), his spin is ineffective. In the recent matches in the IPL, RCB batsmen have beaten Rashid's balls fiercely. Even Rashid's performance in the IPL has been disappointing this year.
Rashid Khan's bowling against RCB in the last three seasons of IPL has proved to be very expensive. He scored a total of 9.4 overs in these three matches but could not take a single wicket. During this time he looted 130 runs and his economy rate was 13.45, which is one of the worst economy rates of his career.
Against RCB Rashid Khan data
- 0/51 (4 overs), Ahmedabad, 2024
- 0/25 (1.4 overs), Bengaluru, 2024
- 0/54 (4 overs), Bengaluru, 2025
Why do RCB batsmen dominate?
Rashid Khan usually harasses batsmen with his googly and sharp spin balls, but RCB batsmen take an aggressive stance against them. In particular, players such as Liam Livingstone, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis (now in DC) play openly against Rashid and do not give them a chance to be defensive.
In the 14th match of this season, Liam Livingstone hit 5 sixes against Rashid Khan, causing his performance to worse.
