IPL 2024: Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has praised the performance of Gujarat Titans vice-captain Rashid Khan. Gavaskar has compared Rashid with England's Test captain Ben Stokes. Rashid Khan gave victory to Gujarat Titans on the last ball of the match played against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Wednesday. Rashid Khan first performed brilliantly with the ball and then played an important role in the team's victory with the bat. This is the third win for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, while the team has also lost three matches.
While bowling, Rashid Khan dismissed Jos Buttler and scored an inning of 24 runs in 11 balls. Apart from Rashid's wicket-taking ability, Gavaskar also praised his batting. 'Rashid takes wickets as usual and does his job when batting is required. This is the reason why franchisees from all over the world want to buy it. They like him because they see his commitment, batting, bowling, fielding. Even while fielding, he gives his 100 percent effort. Bowlers avoid diving while fielding but this is not the case with Rashid. Rashid wants to give 100 percent to the team.
Gavaskar further said, 'There is another cricketer who is not playing in the IPL. Ben Stokes is like that. Whenever you see Ben Stokes, you will realize that he gives 100% in everything – batting, bowling, fielding. He is a cricketer whom coaches like, captains like. He may not always give results but he will always give hundred percent effort.
