Afghan leg spinner Rashid Khan bowled the ball of the Big Bash for Adelaide Strikers against Sydney Thunder last night.

Khan completely bamboozled Ben Rohrer by throwing up a ball that looked like a regulation legspinner but which turned the other way and fizzed into his off stump.

Rohrer tried to play it from the crease but played completely down the wrong line.

Watch Khan’s searing ball here:

 

The Strikers went on to win comfortably, bowling the Thunder out for 110 after setting 163.

Khan was awarded man of the match for his 2/22 off four overs, while Ben Laughlin took 4/26.
