But, this season he has failed to deliver to fans’ expectations. Chahal has taken 12 wickets in nine matches so far. Meanwhile, the former Kiwi cricketer, Simon Doull has not been impressed with the performance of Rashid so far. While speaking to Cricbuzz, Doull said: "Rashid Khan has not been at his best. He has got wickets this year, but he has not been as economical and they have taken to the likes of him. They have taken Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, they have taken to some spinners this year who have generally been okay."
