Delhi: Something interesting and unique is often seen on the cricket field. Something similar was seen during the Champions Trophy 2025. A special incident occurred in the match played between South Africa and Afghanistan at the National Stadium in Karachi, Pakistan. This was the first time in the history of the Champions Trophy when both left -arm wrist spinner and right -handed wrist spinner bowled in the same innings. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed carried out this unique feat for Afghanistan.
Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed pair
Rashid Khan is a right -arm wrist spinner, while Noor Ahmed is a left -handed wrist spinner. Earlier, both of them bowled together in the 2023 ODI World Cup and the T20 World Cup of 2024. If we talk about this match, Rashid Khan gave 59 runs in 10 overs, but he could not take any wicket. At the same time, Noor Ahmed gave 65 runs in 9 overs and took one wicket.
Spinners in ICC tournaments
The bowling of two wrist spinners in an innings in ICC tournaments is really a rare and unique opportunity. Earlier, Shane Warne and Michael Bevan of Australia did this in the 1996 and 1999 ODI World Cups. For India, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav also formed such a pair in the 2019 ODI World Cup. In this World Cup, Imran Tahir and Tabrez Shamsi of South Africa also did this feat.
