Who is Sheikh Rashid?
Rashid, who comes from Guntur in Andhra Pradesh, comes from an ordinary family. His father played an important role in making him a cricketer. Due to lack of arrangements near the house, both of them had to travel a long way. This is the reason why his father lost his job twice to fulfill Rashid’s cricket dreams. The fruit of hard work was found when Rashid got success in the 2022 Under-19 World Cup, where he was made the vice-captain of India. He made his mark on a big stage by playing an innings of 94 runs winning the match against Australia in the semi -finals, which played a decisive role in India’s campaign to win the title.
Rashid performed brilliantly in India’s domestic T20 competition, 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He ended as the highest run -scorer in Andhra Pradesh by scoring 240 runs at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 145.45. The innings of 100 runs off 54 balls against Arunachal Pradesh established his credibility. After losing 2 wickets for 25 runs, he took his team to 228 runs for 4 wickets, which he eventually won by 145 runs.
