Khan is one of the most popular cricketers among Indian fans due to his IPL exploits.

The Nangarhar-born player struck 34 off ten deliveries in the game against KKR and bagged figures of 4-0-19-3 in Qualifier Two. Khan also helped Afghanistan sweep the three-game T20 series against Bangladesh, taking eight wickets that year.
