Shaik Rasheed – naam toh suna hi hoga! Ye Andhra Pradesh ka 20 saal ka batting sensation ab IPL 2025 mein Chennai Super Kings ke liye debut kar chuka hai. Aur haan, is baar team ke command mein khud Mahendra Singh Dhoni hain, kyunki Ruturaj Gaikwad injured ho gaye hain.
Shaik Rasheed ne apna pehla IPL match Lucknow Super Giants ke against khela, jahan unhone New Zealand ke Devon Conway ki jagah li. CSK ki batting form kuch khaas nahi chal rahi thi is season mein, isliye kuch major changes kiye gaye.
Waise Rasheed pehli baar spotlight mein 2022 U-19 World Cup ke waqt aaye the, jab unhone England ke against final mein half-century aur Australia ke against semi-final mein 94 runs ki zabardast innings kheli thi. Us performance ke baad unka domestic debut Andhra ke liye hua.
First-Class Cricket mein unka record bhi impressive hai – 19 matches mein 1204 runs with an average of 37.42. Ranji Trophy 2024–25 mein to unhone 12 matches mein 627 runs jod diye, jisme Hyderabad ke against ek shandar 203 runs bhi include hain. T20 mein bhi unka best score not out 100* hai.
CSK ne Rasheed ko pehli baar 2023 mein INR 20 lakh ke base price par sign kiya tha, lekin uss saal unhe playing XI mein mauka nahi mila. 2024 mein bhi bench par hi rahe, par finally 2025 mein CSK ne unhe INR 30 lakh mein dobara sign karke debut ka chance diya.
CSK ki team mein aur bhi kuch bade changes dekhne ko mile – Jamie Overton ne Ravichandran Ashwin ki jagah li hai. Pehla match jeetne ke baad CSK paanch consecutive matches haar chuki hai, isliye ab har match crucial ban gaya hai. Aur yahi waqt hai jab Rasheed jaisa young talent team ke liye gamechanger ban sakta hai!
Ab dekhna yeh hai – kya Shaik Rasheed Dhoni ke mentorship mein apna magic IPL mein bhi dikhayenge?
