Rashid Khan's Wife
The former Afghanistan skipper is unmarried at the moment. He had to face a lot of trolling on the internet when his statement was misinterpreted where Rashid said that we won’t get married until Afghanistan bags the World Cup trophy. Before the ICC T20 World Cup in 2021, the leg-spinner brushed off the news with a statement saying, “Actually, I was so shocked when I heard this because, to be honest, I never made a statement that I will marry once I win the World Cup, I just said that in the next few years I have more cricket and three World Cups (the 2021 and 2022 Twenty20 World Cups and the 50-over World Cup in 2023) so my focus will be on cricket rather than on getting married.” In 2020, an internet glitch started showing Bollywood actress and Indian cricketer Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma as Rashid Khan’s wife. This Google mess-up took place after Rashid had spoken of Anushka Sharma as one of his favorite female actors in an Instagram Q&A.It was predicted that the numerous mentions of the two might have caused an error in the Google search engine. The results had people shocked and confused before the goof-up was finally fixed.
