Rashid Khan returned his best ever figures -- while bowling a whopping 17 dot balls in his four overs -- against Delhi Capitals (DC) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Tuesday to not only spin Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a crucial win, but to also underline his importance as one of the best spinners in T20 cricket.

Leg-spinner Rashid, 22, finished with enviable figures of 4-0-7-3 as DC were dismissed for 131 in 19 overs while chasing SRH's 219 for two wickets in 20 overs. His Tuesday's exploits have taken his 2020 IPL wickets tally to 17 in 12 matches, and the Afghan is now placed third, behind DC speedster Kagiso Rabada (23 from 12) and Kings XI Punjab pacer Mohammed Shami (20 from 12).
