Mustafizur Rahman is bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 22 million

Bangladeshi pace bowler, Mustafizur Rahman, has been signed by the Mumbai Indians for the upcoming Indian Premier League for Rs 22 million. To get the cutter-master in the team, they had to compete with Delhi Darevils, who made the opening bid, in the IPL auction. The 22-year-old left-arm fast bowler’s base price was 1 Crore Rupees (Rs 10 million).

His earlier franchise in the IPL was the Sunrisers Hyderabad who signed the player for Rs 14 million in 2016. He played for the club for two seasons and played a very important role in the team’s first IPL trophy victory that year. Cricket fans is expecting that the young bowler do well in the upcoming IPL and help his team win the trophy. 

Mustafizur Rahman gives 23 dot balls in a row

It looks like Mustafizur Rahman is getting back his lost form. The young left-arm pacer is getting wickets regularly. More than that, he could trouble batsmen with his bowling variations: slower and cutter. The 22-year-old left-arm fast-medium bowler has once again caught the attention of media by giving 23 dot balls in a row during Bangladesh’s match against Zimbabwe in the Rocket Tri-Nation ODI Series. In his first four overs, he gave just one run. He gave three maiden overs and all against Sikandar Raza.

English fast bowler, James Anderson, has set the record of giving five maidens in a row against Australia in 2003, but it is yet to know if it is the longest dot ball streak in ODIs.
