Adil Rashid Career 

English cricketer Adil Rashid was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, on February 17, 1988. He is well-known for his extraordinary abilities in the One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) formats. 

Rashid's selection by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 2 crore in the 2023 IPL auction highlights his ongoing value in the game's shorter formats. In both ODI and T20I forms, he made his debut for England on the international scene in 2009. From 2015 to 2019, Rashid also represented England in Test cricket, but he preferred to play limited-overs formats.

Adil Rashid's Domestic Career 

From an early age, Adil Rashid's ability as a cricket player was apparent. The renowned Terry Jenner discovered Rashid when he was just 14 years old, and by the time he was 17, he was already becoming well-known. He had a fantastic performance for Yorkshire's Academy team at the beginning of July 2005, capturing six wickets for just thirteen runs. A few days later, in an Under-17 County Championship encounter against Cheshire, he again demonstrated his talent by smashing a magnificent century (111 runs) for the Yorkshire Cricket Board's Under-17 team.

Rashid's steady results in 2006 attracted attention. While playing for Yorkshire's Second XI, he accomplished the unusual accomplishment of scoring four hundreds in a row, highlighting his developing batsmanship. Darren Lehmann, Yorkshire's overseas player, suffered a regrettable calf injury at the same time as his remarkable run of performance. Rashid was able to join Yorkshire's senior team and play in a first-class match because of this injury.

Rashid made a spectacular debut. He took Lehmann's spot in the starting lineup for the game against Warwickshire at North Marine Road in Scarborough. Taking six wickets at a cost of just 67 runs in the second innings, Rashid demonstrated his bowling prowess and helped Yorkshire win by dismantling Warwickshire's middle order. His swift rise to prominence beyond county cricket was largely attributed to his ability to alter games with both bat and ball.

As a result of his early performance, Rashid was selected for the England Under-19 team for a Test series against India’s Under-19 team. As the season went on, Rashid kept playing for Yorkshire and established himself as a regular member of the squad.

Adil Rashid ODI Career

After taking two wickets in the three One-Day Internationals in the series, Adil Rashid was used in the second One-Day International against South Africa in November 2009, but his bowling was unimpressive as he let up 27 runs in three overs at an economy of nine while taking no wickets.

Due to showing below-average performance at the international level, he was dropped from the ODI team, after which he searched for a way to make a comeback for many years, in which he got success in the 2015 England vs New Zealand ODI series. Adil Rashid, who played the first match of this series, made a great comeback and took four wickets for 55 runs in 10 overs, with which England won this match by a huge margin of 210 runs.

In a match against Ireland on May 5, 2017, Adil Rashid claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in the ODI format. Adil Rashid played in three games for England in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, but he had a strong showing, taking seven wickets at an economy rate of 4.73.

Adil Rashid played a very important role in England's victory in the 2019 ICC World Cup, where he took 11 wickets in 11 matches at an economy of 5.72 and kept his team's bowling side strong. In the 2023 ICC World Cup, Adil Rashid took full advantage of the Indian conditions and took 15 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 5.18, becoming the highest wicket-taker for England.
