Mustafizur’s yorkers
Here was a player who knew neither English nor Hindi and had to rely on the signs used by his skipper to realize what exactly he wanted out of him. Still Mustafizur ‘Fizz’ Rahman bagged 17 wickets in his first IPL, in fact, his first tournament outside Bangladesh. He is a special talent and even teammate Bhuvneshwar Kumar admitted he can’t read his slower cutters. Yet Rahman’s standout delivery has been his fast and accurate yorkers that have floored the likes of Andre Russell. In the final also it was Sunrisers’ bowling department who turned things around and this Bangladeshi lad played a significant role to create history.
