Rashid Khan is playing IPL while fasting

Rashid Khan is playing IPL while fasting in unbearable heat.

In April-May, the heat here becomes unbearable. Amid this intolerable heat, Afghan cricketer Rashid Khan gave priority to his religion first. Rashid Khan is busy playing in the IPL when the entire Muslim world is counting down the moments to celebrate the holy Eid-ul-Fitr towards the end of Ramadan. Rashid is not missing fasting even though he is playing against the heat.

In hot weather, he played against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday (April 30). Where the temperature was 40 degrees Celsius. The match started at 3:30 local time. According to the religious rules, Rashid was then fasting. In this condition, he has come on the field and also bowled. He also took 1 wicket, making 29 runs in 4 overs.

Speaking on the sidelines of the match, Rashid said that it is not easy to play while observing fasting. However, Rashid’s righteousness is not new, and he has a habit of continuing the game by observing fasting many times before. Rashid even played in desert countries like the United Arab Emirates.

Rashid says it is challenging to play cricket by keeping fast in the heat. But he is also finding a place to enjoy. The Afghan star said, “It is difficult to play while fasting this summer. But I try my best to enjoy the game. I have played in the hot environment of Dubai before. I am so accustomed to this situation—a tough challenge. But I am enjoying the match. “
