Rashid Khan’s return to top form has become one of the biggest reasons behind Gujarat Titans’ dominant IPL 2026 campaign, with the Afghanistan spinner once again proving decisive in GT’s crushing win over Chennai Super Kings that sealed a top-two finish.
Afghanistan’s star leg-spinner Rashid Khan is doubtful about his chances of featuring in the upcoming one-off Test against India in June, citing concerns over his back and the physical toll of red-ball cricket on his long-term career.
Afghanistan cricket star Rashid Khan has condemned the reported civilian casualties from recent airstrikes by Pakistan in Kabul, calling the targeting of civilian infrastructure a “war crime” and urging international bodies to investigate the incident.
Inserted to bat first, Afghanistan piled up 200/4, powered by Ibrahim Zadran’s unbeaten 95, his second successive fifty of the tournament. Sediqullah Atal chipped in with 44, as Afghanistan made a score of 200 in the tournament for the first time.

Rashid knows his spinners can wreak havoc after winning their first game by 130 runs against Scotland, but he also knows that his team's next opponent, Pakistan, is in imperious form and that conquering the neighbours will need a total team effort.
While Afghanistan hasn't played many bilateral series, their players -- especially spinners -- have plied their trade in lucrative leagues across the world, which has given them the confidence to play against the best sides here.
The video was posted by Rashid on Instagram where Kane Williamson and David Warner could be seen sharing their views on fasting.
Police sources said that the two men were known to the maestro and were alleged to be the former driver of his car and a cleaner, both of whom had allegedly been dismissed from their services a few months back. One of the arrested men had been identified as Deepak Aulakh, who the police said was a former driver.
