With a strike-rate of 12.3, the No.1-ranked men\u2019s T20I bowler boasts a T20 career-best 5\/3 against Ireland in 2017, it noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was so impressive about that innings was that Ireland, who were 64\/2 from six overs, were well on course for victory, until Khan\u2019s devastating spell saw him pick up five wickets in just ten balls to completely swing the rain-affected game, as Ireland fell 17 runs short of their 11-over target of 111\u201d, it added.<\/p>\n<p>According to the ICC, It\u2019s not just his wicket-taking ability that has seen him recognized either. His economy rate is also exceptional, conceding 6.14 runs per over in T20Is. With the bat, in all forms of T20 cricket he\u2019s shown that he can play shots, and along with his match-winning capabilities with the ball, he\u2019s proved he is an asset to his side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill very young, the prolific spinner will no doubt be a player to keep an eye on for the next decade of international cricket\u201d, said ICC.<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afghanistan\u2019s Rashid Khan has been crowned as the ICC Men\u2019s T20I Cricketer of the Decade by the International Cricket Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,388,6,7],"tags":[12,85,407],"class_list":["post-2524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-report","category-sport","category-afghanistan","category-headline","tag-afghanistan","tag-cricket","tag-rashid-khan"],"views":1023,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
