Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain wants to be the highest wicket-taker in the upcoming T-20 World Cup set to begin on June 2.
Risahd said, “Of course, as a bowler I want to see the title 'highest wicket-taker' besides my name. And as an all-rounder, I want to see myself at a
much higher level.” the
leg-spinner said in a video posted by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on social media on Monday.
Rishad who is set to take part in his maiden T20 World Cup, will be Bangladesh's specialist leg-spinner in the campaign, something the Tigers have been yearning for many years.
The 21-year-old has picked up 15 wickets in 17 T20Is at an economy rate of slightly above seven.
Other than being an economic bowling option, Rishad has also proven himself as a handy option late down the order, with his ability to clear the ropes.
In just seven T20I innings, he already has a half-century to his name and possess a strike rate of over 135.
Rishad said that his self-belief enables him to hit sixes.
“Every batter wants to hit big shots, I'm also the same. To hit sixes, the most important thing is to have faith in yourself.
I just try my best, I don't do anything special. I don't look at the bowler or anything else, I
just take it ball by ball,” said Rishad.
