WATCH: Rashid Khan details how Asghar Afghan stole 'special bat' given to him by Virat Kohli

Afghanistan sensation Rashid Khan revealed how he once got a bat from Virat Kohli but much to his dismay, it was stolen by none other than former Afghanistan captain Asghar Afghan. "When you are (learning) the skills of batting, you need to have a good bat. I got a few from the players. I got one from Virat (Kohli), I got from Davey (David Warner), I got one from KL Rahul and those are special bats. That will help me to make some runs in the World Cup," said Rashid Khan, while speaking to cricket.com.au. "When I was batting with the bat against Ireland, I flicked one for four - I wanted to hit a boundary and it went for six. I was like 'what happened? That went for six? I was like 'there is something in the bat'. I loved the bat. It was like every ball I hit went for six. There was something special in that bat. As soon as I came to the pavillion, our previous captain Asghar Afghan, he came up to me and said, 'give me that bat' and I was like 'oh no'. "He had already taken it out from my bag and put it in his own bag. That was a special bat, from a special player as well. He took that bat and I hope he doesn't do well with that and gives it back," said a smiling Rashid Khan.

Recently, Sachin Tendulkar named Rashid Khan as one of the players who can be potential 'Game Changers' in the six World Cup weeks. Tendulkar's suggestion for the Afghan star Rashid Khan is to “set attacking fields” and treat the 50-over game like a “Test match”, challenging the opposition batsmen regularly. “I think he's (Rashid) going to be instrumental in creating those upsets in this tournament,” Tendulkar said on his commentary debut on Star Sports.
