Dhrupad, are you a spinner?
I am sure some Western idiot will soon have a problem with his bowling action.

Lots of love for @rashidkhan_19 from India.
He will soon rule in Test cricket too
Rashid Khan is incredible - yes he has not played the major teams much but only one innings in his ODI career he has bowled at an ER of more than 6 and only in 4 out of 35 innings has he not taken any wickets. He has 86 wickets from 35 innings. #remarkable #Afghanistan
