Rashid Khan, born on September 20, 1998, in Nangarhar, Afghanistan, is a cricketer known for his exceptional leg-spin bowling. He made his international debut for Afghanistan at just 17 years old.

BOOM had debunked a misleading claim about Rashid Khan.

A viral message was circulating on social media falsely claiming that industrialist Ratan Tata announced a reward of Rs 10 crore for Afghanistan cricketer Rashid Khan. The message alleged that Tata decided to give this reward after the International Cricket Council (ICC) purportedly fined Rashid Khan Rs 55 lakh for celebrating his team's victory with the Indian flag during a Cricket World Cup match against Pakistan. BOOM found that this claim is false. Ratan Tata confirmed that it was fake by posting a viral message on his official social media accounts, stating that he made no such suggestions to the ICC or any cricket authority regarding fines or rewards for players.
