Sunrisers Hyderabad thumped Kolkata Knight Riders by 17 runs and booked the place in the IPL finals, where they will square off against CSK. SRH was coming from back of four straight defeats and they needed an inspirational performance which came from Rashid Khan. Just when the SRH was struggling to go past the par score, Khan came and played a blistering knock of 34 runs of just 10 balls that ensured his team post an above par score of 174/7 after 20 overs.
He continued to contribute and picked 3 crucial wickets of Chris Lynn, Shubman Gill and Andre Russell. He proved way too economical by giving away just 19 runs and the twist of his magical fielding where he held two catches in the match. The social fans on twitter went berserk on the match winning performance. On that note, here are the best tweets on Rashid Khan’s magical performance in Qualifier 2.
Indeed !
They said batsman can change course of T20 game single handedly… but Rashid Khan what a player… #KKRvsSRH

Arguably the most valuable T20 player
Bat: 34* (10), with 4 sixes
Ball: 3/19 in 4 overs
Field: 2 catches, 1 run outHe had the highest batting strike rate and also the best economy rate.
What an all-round performance from Rashid Khan! #SRHvKKR

I think Rashid Khan could discover a new planet in the solar system or a new element in the periodic table today

Agreed
Has anyone ever had a better T20 match? 35 off 10 balls. 3 for 18, and two catches. The best strike rate, the best economy rate, and the most wickets. Rashid Khan could have parted the sea today
