Rashid Khan may be bamboozling batsmen all over the world and more so in the T20 2018 at the moment but he may not even be the best leggie in his family. He has seven brothers and all of them bowl leg spin, he says. And he, in fact, started as a batsman before someone simply told him 'you are now a bowler and so you will bat at No. 8 and not at the top'. That was it, Rashid the leg-spinner was born, he explained in a free-wheeling chat with select media here.
