The 22-year old Afghan spinner, Rashid Khan who also plays for the SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL posted a couple of images of himself where he is seen chilling and relaxing by a pool side. He is the current vice-captain of the Afghanistan team and probably the most dangerous spin bowler in the current times. He was recently involved in an ODI series win against Ireland. Afghanistan swept the series 3-0 and announced that they need not be taken very lightly in world cricket. He picked up seven wickets and scored 103 runs in two innings in the series against Ireland.
He is the best player for Afghanistan. But as much as he is a character on the field, he is just as good off the field. His Twitter account is full of fun and adventure. On Tuesday, Rashid posted images of himself at a pool side with a caption: “Life is cool by the pool”

Twitter went crazy after seeing Rashid in such a casual attire. He is seen wearing a floral shirt along with cotton shorts and taking a swing in a swimming pool. Many fans commented on his new avatar. Here’s a look at some of the tweets by fans:

In a recent interview, Rashid said that he wants to become a complete all-rounder in the future. He said: “I said earlier that I started my career as a batsman. But later I worked more on my bowling. I am working on my batting now and I have got areas to improve on and I want to be a proper all-rounder in future.”
Only time will tell if this comes true. But as things stood in the final ODI against Ireland, Rashid scored 48 runs and also picked up four wickets.
