Many prominent Afghan cricketers congratulated Rashid Khan, including veteran player Mohammad Nabi. The Afghan team captain wished him a lifetime of happiness and success. The wedding followed Pashtun customs and Rashid Khan wore a traditional Afghan outfit.
On Thursday, October 4, 2024, Afghanistan Cricket Star Rashid Khan celebrated his wedding day in a joyful ceremony. Interestingly, he shared his wedding with his three brothers—Amir Khalil, Zakiullah, and Raza Khan—who also tied the knot the same day. The event was held at the Imperial Continental Hotel in Kabul, following traditional Pashtun customs. Moreover, outside the venue, several individuals were seen carrying guns as they roamed near the hotel.
Rashid Khan is one of the finest T20 bowlers in the world. He is a global sports star who has played a key role in Afghanistan’s rise in international cricket. The leg-spinner holds records for being the fastest to take 50 and 100 wickets in T20I cricket. In addition, he has been ranked as the No. 1 bowler in ICC’s T20I rankings. He achieved international recognition at just 17 years old when he made his ODI debut during Afghanistan’s tour of Zimbabwe in 2015.
Captain’s Wish
Many of his fellow cricketers, both past and present, attended the event and offered their congratulations. Mohammad Nabi, a veteran player and former captain of Afghanistan, sent his heartfelt wishes to Rashid on social media, saying, “Congratulations to the one and only King Khan, Rashid Khan, on your wedding! Wishing you a lifetime of love, happiness, and success.”
Videos and photos from the wedding quickly spread across social media. Fans and well-wishers celebrated Rashid and his brothers as they began this new chapter in their lives. Rashid was seen smiling warmly in a traditional Afghan outfit, sharing the moment with his family and friends.
This special day marked a joyous occasion not only for Rashid Khan but for Afghan cricket fans around the world, who shared in the happiness of their favorite cricketer. Moreover, we wish his “leg break googly style” of bowling works well in his marriage as well! Wishing the new couple all the blessings.
