While his teammates are enjoying Eid holidays with their loved ones, Mostafizur Rahman is working on his bowling. Increasing bowling edge.
Bangladesh’s star pacer is certainly not busy with the national team. The left-handed pacer is having a great time in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Played 4 matches for new team Chennai Super Kings. He got 9 wickets at the cost of 128 runs. He is the leading wicket taker in IPL so far. That’s why he has a purple cap on his head. This cap adorns the head of the top wicket taker of IPL.
This pacer from Chennai is performing well with an economy rate of 8 and a strike rate of 10.66. His fearsome cutter is quite effective. Slower and stock bowling is also spreading fascination. All in all 22 yards are having a great time. Especially making an impact. Mustafiz is unstoppable in the death overs. No bowler has bowled more dot balls in death overs than Mustafiz in this IPL so far. The Bangladeshi pacer scored 23 dot balls in the death over. Afghanistan pacer Naveen Ul Haq at number two scored 14.
A statistic is just a number. Apart from this, the pressure that Mustafiz has put, the results are available in the next over. That is why the left-handed pacer has been very impactful in Chennai’s three wins.
Having a good time with the ball, the speculations have started, how far will Mustafiz go? Where to stop? Mostafiz won the best emerging cricketer award in his first season in IPL. Sebar played a major role in Sunrisers Hyderabad winning the title. He got 17 wickets in 16 matches. This is Mostafiz’s best achievement in IPL so far. Can you break that record now?
That would have been a possibility if Chennai could have played him for the entire duration of the IPL. According to the no-objection letter, Mustafiz can stay in the Chennai camp till April 30. After that he was asked to join the national team. As such, Mustafiz will get the opportunity to play four more matches. The uncertainty over Mustafiz’s playing in the playing XI has been removed. It can be assumed that the yellow camp will play him in all four matches. With two of the four matches being in Chennai, there is no uncertainty about his game. Because, Chennai’s wicket is very ‘Mustafiz-friendly’.
It is a big question whether Mustafiz can surpass his old achievements in these four matches. If he can, needless to say, Chennai will fly with his performance. After 2016, his wicket tally reached double figures in 2021. Seva took 14 wickets at an economy rate of 8.41 in 14 matches for Rajasthan Royals.
