Rashid Khan, who has landed in the UAE on the back of superb performances in the Caribbean Premier League, will look to be consistent for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rashid also said that he has not developed any special deliveries; however, indicated that he is working on his variations.

The young spinner also highlighted that spinners will play a key role in the tournament. The slow bowlers already played a key role in the IPL 2020 opener and it will only increase as the tournament progress.

“Spinners will be key in this competition as it goes on, wickets might get better for the spinners as the tournament progresses, the grounds are bigger as well and that helps as a spinner. Sharjah is a small ground but the wicket would be good for the spinners,” he added.
