IPL 2022: My focus is always on economy rate, says Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan is enduring an ordinary IPL this year with the ball in terms of wickets, but the Gujarat Titans spinner is not too bothered about that as long as he can produce economical spells for his team. Rashid has so far claimed 11 wickets from as many games at an economy rate of 6.84, figures which definitely won't please him much. But the star Afghan cricketer has taken it in stride. "While bowling in T20s it's always great to take wickets but for me, it's a bit different because I always focus on economy and that is something which puts pressure on the batters," Rashid said at the post-match virtual press conference after GT's five-run loss to Mumbai Indians on Friday. "But definitely compared to other IPLs, got less wickets this year. In a couple of games I didn't bowl as good as I should have. But that's T20, there is so much for you to learn."
