Afghanistan’s superstar Rashid Khan is back as the captain of Mumbai Indians Cape Town for the SA20 league’s third season. Rashid had led the team in the first season, but he missed the second edition due to a back injury.
Despite Rashid’s presence in the first season, the team struggled and finished at the bottom of the points table. The leg-spinner managed nine wickets in that season, maintaining an economy rate under seven.
Rashid Khan’s Impact as a Leader
Rashid’s return brings a lot of hope for Mumbai Indians Cape Town. He has proved himself as a strong leader, especially in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he led Afghanistan to their first-ever semi-final appearance.
Rashid’s leadership will be crucial for the team, which includes stars like Ben Stokes, Trent Boult, and Kagiso Rabada. After two tough seasons, Mumbai Indians Cape Town is looking for redemption under his guidance.
The franchise released a statement calling Rashid a “spin wizard” who has revolutionized leg-spin bowling. They believe his presence can help the team win their maiden SA20 title.
In Rashid’s absence last season, Kieron Pollard captained the side, but the team finished last again. With Rashid back at the helm, Mumbai Indians Cape Town is eager to turn things around and chase the trophy.
