Rashid Khan
Right-hand bat
Rashid Khan, an all-rounder, has played ten IPL seasons for two franchises, and has taken 179 wickets, the 9th-most in IPL history. One title came along the way.
The arrival
Rashid Khan arrived through the auction: Sunrisers Hyderabad paid ₹4 cr, against a base price of ₹50 lakh.
That first season brought 14 matches, 11 runs and 17 wickets at 6.63 an over.
The peak
The best season was 2023, for Gujarat Titans: 27 wickets at 8.24 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.79, with best figures of 4 for 30. Eight seasons brought 15 wickets or more (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2026).
Franchise by franchise
2017 to 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bought at the 2017 auction for ₹4 cr. 76 matches, 222 runs and 93 wickets.
2022 to 2026, Gujarat Titans. Arrived outside the auction. 77 matches, 413 runs and 86 wickets; champions in 2022.
2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Sunrisers Hyderabad, 2017 to 2021.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 179 wickets in 3,543 deliveries, at 7.28 runs an over against a league rate of 8.64 for the same seasons: 1.37 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time, the mark of a bowler who kept things tight. There were three four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 4 for 24.
35.5% of the balls Rashid Khan bowled were dots, a higher share than 55% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 19.8 balls.
The fielding record: 51 catches and 6 run-outs.
At the auction
Rashid Khan has gone under the hammer twice. The highest price was ₹9 cr, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018, more than 4 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹4 cr in 2017, ₹9 cr by 2018.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
Where it stands
On the all-time IPL lists, among 810 players, Rashid Khan stands 9th for wickets and 13th for player-of-the-match awards. The story is still being written: 2026 was another season with Gujarat Titans.
