Rashid Khan is widely regarded as one of the greatest T20 players of all time, and his commitment to sportsmanship on the field is truly remarkable. On Friday, the Afghan leg-spinner demonstrated why he is such a highly sought-after player worldwide, as he showed a willingness to prevent a boundary after making an error while fielding.
The incident occurred during the third over of Mumbai Indians’ innings when Ishan Kishan hit a drive to mid-on. Rashid Khan chased the ball, but he missed picking it up and it went on to touch the boundary rope.
Despite this, Rashid continued running and somehow managed to save the ball before it crossed the boundary line. In the process, he fell flat on his face and appeared to be in significant pain, which was visible on camera.
The replay revealed that Rashid had saved the boundary comfortably, but Ishan and Rohit completed three runs in the meantime.
The Titans physio quickly attended to Rashid to check whether he was okay, and the Afghanistani continued to play. He then returned to dismiss two well-set batters, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, in a single over, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the game.
