�Magical� Mustafizur hogs headlines in IPL

Tributes continued pouring on ‘magical’ Mustafizur Rahman as he kept cricket world enthralled with his mercurial performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He seemed to have come in every game with something new which left the cricket world cherishing the wonder boy of Bangladesh from heart out.
Mustafizur has a new name: ‘The Fizz’. At least that’s what he’s known as in the wide world of the internet.
After dishing out his cutters to get rid of A.B. de Villiers and Shane Watson in the opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mustafizur sent Andre Russell’s stumps tumbling when Sunrisers Hyderabad took on Kolkata Knight Riders. He disturbed the wicket of Hardik Pandya in the next game against Mumbai Indians while unstoppable Gujarat Lions batsmen were foxed repeatedly by his cutters. He uprooted Ravindra Jadeja’s wicket with another off-cutter but the Kings XI Panjab felt the most wrath of Mustafizur who unleashed cutters, cunning slower one after another to leave the batsmen embarrassed and red-faced.
17 dots, irking the Punjab batsmen in three spells of four overs, conceding not a single boundary and ending with extraordinary T20 bowling figures of 4-1-9-2; Mustafizur Rahman had run carnage at Hyderabad with his magical bowling.
For someone who has just completed a year in International cricket yesterday, it was a performance to savour. On April 24, Mustafizur stormed into the International cricket with the T20 International against Pakistan at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket. He ended with a figure of 4-0-20-2 and the first wicket was Shahid Afridi, even though the dismissal seemed an umpiring error, nobody could resist Mustafizur to march on to the eternity.
He has been praised enormously but he keeps his feet on the ground.
Former left-arm pacer and commentator Alan Wilkins has compared Mustafizur Rahman’legendary Ukrainian pole vaulter Sergey Bubka as both of them have the habit of surpassing the own records
“The more you see Mustafizur… he will keep producing something great in the next moment – a lot like Sergey Bubka, who constantly broke his own records,” Wilkins praised Mustafizur during the commentary on that match.
Former Australian opener Mathew Hayden also joined the party to praise Mustafizur.
“He is an extraordinary talent. (He has) such variations in his hand, he does not at all allow any batsman to be set, not even McCullum,” the former Aussie opener observed.
Sitting beside him in the commentary box, former Kiwi pacer Danny Morrison replied, “Now we need to see, how much further he can go from here.”
Those praise could anyone make proud and more essentially also could distract him from concentration. But Mustafizur proved he isn’t much carried away by those. Day after being praised from those greats, he propped up with another eye-catching performance.
Even the language barrier wasn’t a problem. He proved he could understand without any visible communication that what his captain David Warner wanted from him.
Warner himself cleared it by saying: “He said, no problem bowling, talking and batting problem.”
