IPL 2023 / England star spinner Adil Rashid will put his name in next month IPL auction

IPL 2023 | England's star spinner Adil Rashid performed brilliantly in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, especially against India in the semi-finals and Pakistan in the final. The bowler played a key role in England winning the T20 World Cup and now the star cricketer is gearing up for the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. The mini auction for IPL 2023 is to be held on 23 December. Adil Rashid has troubled star batsmen like Virat Kohli and Babar Azam with his spin bowling, so many franchise teams will definitely have an eye on this bowler.

Rashid made memorable performances in the semi-final against India and the final against Pakistan. He took the wickets of important batsmen like Suryakumar Yadav and Babar Azam in these matches. He has played for Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League. "Yes, I will include my name in the IPL auction this time," Rashid said after the World Cup final on Sunday.

When asked if he was in talks with any team, he replied in the negative. Rashid took just four wickets in six matches throughout the tournament but he bowled four overs from his quota in each match, conceding only runs at an economy rate of 6.12. Rashid bowled at a very slow pace during this period, which can prove to be very effective in India's big grounds like Eden Gardens, Chepauk and Uppal (Hyderabad).

Rashid said that he insisted on bowling a 'flighted ball' as well as reducing his pace to dodge a batsman like Babar. He said, 'I caught Babar on the googly ball. I don't know if the game turned around from here or not but the pitch was helping me and my ball was turning. I don't know about Shadab Khan and Liam Livingstone in (short spin). He said, 'I was bowling slow and the ball was getting a lot of leg spin. Normally I bowl a little faster. That was my plan for here and I implemented it. Rashid said, 'Shadab and Liam bowl a little faster. Everyone has their own way. Slow bowling was good for me.
