Riding on Rashid Khan's brilliance, once again he came to rescue their side and secure sensational one-run win over Bangladesh in their final T20 game to seal the series 3-0 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday.
From all corners from the earth, praise showered in for Afghanistan Magician Rashid Khan including Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle, who tweeted, "Meanwhile @rashidkhan_19 has defended 9 off the last over to give Afghanistan a clean sweep over Bangladesh. Amazing result for Afghanistan and further proof of Rashid's phenomenal development."

Bro, are you serious? Dude, @bhogleharsha sir is like more than 20 years older than Kohli, Raina and even Dhoni. He is still older than Sachin, Dravid and Saurav. Though, bro sounds cool but thats awkward. But Mr Bhogle is a legend and has deeper understanding of cricket than u.

This dance form was created and popularised by Bangladesh during the Nidahas Trophy.
Bangladesh were well on the way to register thier victory after senior players Mushfiqur Rahim (46 off 37) and Mahmudullah (45* off 38) together managed to score 84 runs on the board with five wickets down but Rashid Khan single handedly turned the game upside down by defending nine runs in the the final over. Rashid bagged eight wickets in the three-match series with an exceptional economy of 4.45, averaging 6.12.
This was the third occasion when Afghanistan won a T20I series by a margin of 3-0.
