Many expensive players are playing in IPL 2025, but most of these performances have not been as expected. Players like Rishabh Pant and Venkatesh Iyer have suffered criticism due to this, while Pat Cummins are also failing. But there is also a player who is the most expensive player in his team and his performance has been very bad. These players are Gujarat Titans star spinner Rashid Khan, who has failed this season so far.

Gujarat's most expensive player

One of the best spinners of T20 cricket and the new season of Afghanistan's star spin-all-rounder Rashid, which has been spreading its fire for the last several seasons in the IPL, has not gone well. Rashid is part of this team since the formation of Gujarat team in 2022. Prior to the mega auction, the franchise also retained him for Rs 18 crore. With this, he became the most expensive player of the franchise, which is more than captain Shubman Gill (16.50 crores).

In such a situation, Rashid was expected to perform well this season, but his magic has not been done yet. Rashid Khan has been fiercely hit against every team and this series continued against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the fourth consecutive match. On Sunday 6 April, in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where the rest of Gujarat bowlers did wonders and got wickets, Rashid Khan's bag remained empty. Rashid spent 31 runs in 4 overs but did not get any wicket.

Flop badly in IPL 2025

In this way, Rashid Khan failed to take a single wicket in the third consecutive match. Overall, Rashid Khan has played 4 matches in this season so far and has bowled 14 overs in it but he has got only 1 wicket, that too in the first match of the season. At the same time, Rashid has paid 143 runs in these 14 overs. That is, the economy of 10.43 runs per over has been still known for his very affordable bowling. These figures are going to disturb Rashid and Gujarat because even if they do not return in the form, it can be difficult for Gujarat.
