Rashid accomplished the historic feat against the Punjab Kings in the Gujarat Titans’ season opener. In Titan’s narrow 11-run loss, he only managed one wicket, but it was enough to surpass Bumrah and make him the third-fastest player in the lucrative league to collect 150 wickets.

By successfully using his legbreak googly, the 26-year-old ball tweaker has prospered in the lucrative division. However, on a serene batting strip in Ahmedabad, Rashid was exposed by the Punjab Kings.(IPL Update)
Rashid lost and beautifully leaked runs during his four-over session, which was in contrast to his economical style. After giving up 48 runs at an economy of 12.00, he returned with the only wicket of Priyansh Arya, who was making his debut.
Following the powerplay, the Kings were dominating the first inning and scoring runs at a rate of more than twelve. The home team needed a breakthrough, so captain Shubman Gill used Rashid, his secret weapon.
He enticed Priyansh to overshoot with a tossed-up delivery that lacked bounce and turn. Sai Sudharsan made a simple catch after Priyansh let away a huge top edge, sending the batter back to the dressing room with a quick 47.
Rashid’s sole bright spot was Priyansh’s scalp. Rashid was thrashed throughout the park for the remainder of the evening as PBKS sped to 243/5. With a scorching 97, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer stole the show, and Shashank Singh added the final touches with a 44.(IPL Update)
Although GT gained some momentum in their home den in response, they were unable to meet the objective by 11 runs.
