GT Leg-Spinner Rashid Khan Becomes a Father: Happiness has knocked at the house of Afghanistan’s star leg spinner Rashid Khan, who is playing for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. Rashid has become a father and he gave this information to his fans through social media platform Instagram. They have named their son Azlan. Rashid Khan got married for the second time last year, while he had his first marriage in Kabul in the year 2024. The special thing was that on the same day his three brothers also got married, which made the ceremony more special.

Share happiness on social media

Rashid Khan shared the joy of his son’s birth on social media and also wrote an emotional message. He said, “Alhamdulillah, welcome to the world my little prince.” Along with this, he also appealed to his fans to pray for his family. On this post of Rashid, many players and fans of the cricket world congratulated him and wished for the bright future of his son.

Performance in IPL 2026 was ordinary

However, while Rashid is happy in his personal life, his performance in IPL 2026 has not been anything special so far. He has taken 6 wickets in 5 matches played this season. Recently, he proved to be very expensive in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, where he took only one wicket while conceding 44 runs in 4 overs. Even in the last season i.e. IPL 2025, his performance was not as expected, where he took only 9 wickets in 15 matches.

Most successful bowler of T20 cricket

Rashid Khan’s name is included among the most successful bowlers of T20 cricket. 27-year-old Rashid has so far taken 708 wickets in 524 T20 matches, which makes him the most successful bowler in this format. Dwayne Bravo is at second place in this list, who has 631 wickets in his name. Rashid’s dominance also continues in T20 International cricket, where he has taken 193 wickets in 115 matches.

Big achievements achieved at a young age

Rashid Khan made his debut in international cricket for Afghanistan at the age of just 17. After this, he gained worldwide recognition on the basis of his spin and excellent control. Today he is counted among the most reliable bowlers in T20 leagues and every team wants to add him to their team.
