England star spinner Adil Rashid recently participated in a fun “Blind Test” segment, and the results are now scoring rounds on social media. The experienced leg -spinner was asked to rank in three different categories -batsmen, fast bowlers and spinners, without knowing whose name came.
In the category of batsmen, Adil Rashid topped the Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli, followed by England’s Test Legend Joe Root, Australia’s batting mestro Steve Smith, New Zealand’s icon Kane Williamson and Pakistan star Babar Azam.

These five cricketers have been the mainstay of the batting lineup of their respective teams in forms for more than a decade. However, Virat Kohli retired from T20I cricket last year and tested cricket a few months ago. The former Indian captain will now play ODI only for India.

Meanwhile, for the category of fast bowlers, Rashid went as the best with India’s lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah, followed by Joffra Archer of England, New Zealand’s Paes Great Trent Bowlt, Australia veteran fast bowler Mitchell Starc and Pakistan’s pace sensation Shahin Epharin.
They are all known for their excellence in the format, Bumrah is widely considered as the best modern era fast bowler in the format in any situation. Stark is actually the largest match winner, with several ICC titles under his belt.

Trent Bault is also a legend in its league and is one of the greatest bowlers in the history of New Zealand cricket. He has more than 610 wickets for his name in international cricket. However, Archer has been out of action for a long time, but his raw speed is still given high status in forms.
Well, things became really interesting in the list of spinners. Rashid was surprised when the last name was detected. But showing the great sportsmanship, the English spinner immediately refused to top the top.
Instead, Adil named the late Australian legend Shane Warne as his number 1 spinner. He ranked Indian wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav as the second best spinner in the world, followed by Afghanistan spin Vizard Rashid Khan, Australian star Adam Zampa and Shadab Khan of Pakistan.
