Arshad Khan: The Rising Left-Arm Pacer Shaping IPL 2025
Born on December 20, 1997 , in Madhya Pradesh , India, Arshad Khan is a dynamic left-arm medium-fast bowler who has carved a niche in T20 cricket with his disciplined approach and all-round utility . Standing at 6’1”, his ability to swing the ball early and deliver sharp yorkers in death overs has made him a vital asset for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 . Let’s delve into his journey:
Early Career & Domestic Cricket
Arshad’s cricketing journey began in Madhya Pradesh’s youth system , where his raw pace and knack for swing bowling caught selectors’ attention . By 2018 , he was representing his state in Ranji Trophy , showcasing his potential as a new-ball threat. His breakthrough came in the 2024 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy , where he scalped three crucial wickets , cementing his reputation as a consistent T20 performer .
Transitioning to professional cricket, Arshad joined the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2022 auctions, where he honed his skills under pressure against top-tier batsmen . However, it was his move to Gujarat Titans in 2023 that elevated his career, offering him a platform to refine his yorker and slower deliveries .
International Aspirations
Despite his domestic success, Arshad is yet to break into the Indian national team . However, his performances in the IPL and domestic T20s have placed him on the radar of selectors. Known for his left-arm angle and ability to exploit early swing, he remains a contender for India’s limited-overs setup, particularly in conditions favoring seam movement .
IPL Career: From Rising Prospect to Key Enforcer
Arshad’s IPL journey began with Lucknow Super Giants , where he struggled for regular game time. His move to Gujarat Titans in 2023 proved transformative. Under the mentorship of Ashish Nehra , he evolved into a death-over specialist , consistently delivering tight spells and impactful cameos with the bat.
Key IPL 2025 Stats (as of May 2025):
- Matches Played: 30+
- Wickets: 35+
- Economy Rate: ~8.50
- Best Bowling: 3/22
- Batting Contributions: Lower-order power-hitter with a strike rate of 130+ 29.
Notably, his 2025 season saw him dismissed Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan in crucial matches, proving his adaptability in high-stakes games .
Strong Zone: The Death Over Specialist
Arshad’s strongest phase is the 16th-20th over , where his left-arm angle and repertoire of slower balls bamboozle batsmen. Additionally, his athletic fielding and power-hitting (notably in the 2024 SMAT) make him a 360-degree player in T20s .
Legacy & Future Prospects
Though still in his prime at 27 years old , Arshad’s legacy hinges on consistency and adaptability . If he continues dominating death overs in the IPL and performs in upcoming ODI/ T20I series , he could follow the footsteps of Jasprit Bumrah as India’s next left-arm pacer. His disciplined line-and-length and aggressive mindset position him as a future leader in India’s white-ball attack.
