IPL 2019 | Every grip is giving me different results, reveals Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan gave some insight into his mindset while practising in the nets saying that his focus is doing things right as he has done in the past as every grip is giving different results in the league. Khan admits he cannot get wickets in every game and wants to just focus on getting things right.
Rashid Khan is definitely one of the most feared spinners in the Indian Premier League at present. The number one T20I bowler is part of the famed Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling unit led by Bhuvaneshwar Kumar. Despite the presence of top spinners - Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav, Imran Tahir and Yuzvendra Chahal in the IPL, Khan is still considered to be the most dangerous of the lot.

Khan added that each grip is offering different results on the pitch in the ongoing domestic T20 season.

Even if you pick the action, you have to hit the ball," Khan told Cricbuzz.
The 20-year old player registered figures of 4-0-55-1 against Kings XI Punjab and was taken for 4-0-49-1 in the next game against Chennai Super Kings. He insisted that he is well aware that he cannot pick wickets in every match he plays.
"I realised you can't keep taking wickets in each and every game. You need to focus on what you can do right. I needed to focus on my length - the back of length delivery - that is my area. My coaches came to me after the second bad game and said 'look, we have all had bad games. It happens with cricketers. As a bowler, what do you feel like?' I accepted that and brought my length back."
"When I look lazy on tv, my nephews call me and ask me about what happened. I have to keep that is mind.
