Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan is known more for his bowling and a little bit for his batting. Apart from taking countless wickets in T20 cricket over the years, he has proved his batting prowess as well. Meanwhile, the Afghans are in Trivandrum and their warm-up game against South Africa was washed out early in the day. Meanwhile, ahead of the game, he took an opportunity to click selfies with fans.

During this, someone behind the cameras mentioned whether Khan would open the batting in ODIs. In reply, he said that he won't do it in ODIs but definitely in T20Is. He is yet to open the batting in any format at the highest level of the game.

"My speed, my quick wrong 'uns all developed playing at home. If I bowled like a normal wrist spinner it would turn slowly -- my brothers would defend easily. I had to do something different, so I developed variations," Rashid was quoted as saying by The Daily Star.

"Afridi is one player who has fans all over the world. Check his record, he doesn't have many centuries, but whenever he arrived he would hit four, five, six sixes... entertain and leave," he added.
