Sushma Swaraj Responded on Rashid Khan Performance

New Delhi, May 26: Afghanistan's latest sensation Rashid Khan has emerged as one of the biggest ambassadors for the game of cricket from the war-torn country of Afghanistan.

On Friday, the 19-year-old leg-spinner once again made his presence felt with an outstanding all-round performance for his team Sun Risers Hyderabad to lead them to the finals of IPL 2018.

His heroic effort has not only grabbed the imagination of cricket crazy fans across the country but also led to several calling for an Indian citizenship for the Afghan star.

Acknowledging the fascination of cricket lovers across the nation, Minister of External Affairs of India, Sushma Swaraj responded by stating that she had gone through all the reactions on social media but the matter of awarding an Indian citizenship to a foreign resident rests with the Ministry of Home Affairs.

"I have seen all the tweets. Citizenship matters are dealt with by Ministry of Home affairs," Swaraj wrote on Twitter.
