Rashid Khan a fantastic prospect for Afghanistan side, says Warner 

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD SKIPPER David Warner said that he was delighted to see vintage Yuvraj Singh hammering the RCB bowlers in the opening match of the 10th edition of IPL.

The Aussie opener also showered praise on Rashid Khan, who picked two crucial wickets in the game, and reckoned that the Afghanistan leggie is a huge prospect for the national side. As reported by PTI, Warner said,

"Oh he was fantastic. He has the talent and seems to be a fantastic prospect for Afghanistan cricket. It was fantastic the manner in which the guys batted through the middle. We got to see the Yuvi of the old we know."

Yuvraj, who struck a quick 62 off 27 balls, stated that his knock has provided him a lot of confidence for the forthcoming games. 

"When you make a comeback and play well, you gain confidence. You don't have to worry that you have to make a comeback (to Indian team). I'm batting more hours, working on the short ball, the slower ball, hitting in the V. I was a bit lucky today but I have been playing the short ball really well."

Meanwhile, rival skipper Shane Watson conceded that the RCB team was beaten by a margin in all the departments.

"All aspects, we were slightly off. We weren't as tight. Sunrisers got pretty much the same combinations, we are still finding ours. Last man standing, but it's a privilege to lead RCB. The wicket was slow but very nice (batting)."
