Ahead of the upcoming SA20 season, Mumbai Indians Cape Town have retained their faith in Rashid Khan, naming the Afghan spin wizard as their captain. This marks Rashid’s return to leadership after previously leading the team in the inaugural season. While he was forced to sit out the second season due to a back injury, his initial stint with the team was noteworthy, claiming nine wickets with impressive control. His economical bowling, maintaining a run rate of under 7 runs per over and an average of 30.0, demonstrated his value to the team despite missing the following season through injury.
