Bangladesh’s bowling wonder Mustafizur Rahman picks up his 50th wicket in T20 cricket when he dismissed Murali Vijay for six in the 46th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League on May 15, 2016 at Mohali, Chandigarh.

It was one of those rare off days for Mustafizur Rahman and his team Sunrisers Hyderabad that suffered a punishing seven-wicket defeat against Delhi Daredevils at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium yesterday.

Although the past week of matches in this ninth edition of IPL served some superlative performances from outstanding cricketers like Andre Russell, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, Mustafizur Rahman was voted the Player of the Week by Times of India.

Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman could ignite a bidding war between several Big Bash League (BBL) cricket franchises as the promising pacer has caught the eyes of many in Australia.

Mustafizur has been rocking to the core in 20-over cricket, and played an important role in Bangladesh's campaigns at the recently concluded Asia Cup and ICC World T20 2016 in India. Currently, Fizz is ranked the 19th best T20 bowler in the world by the ICC, having played only 13 T20I matches.

For the record, Fizz bowled his first maiden over in T20 cricket, the first in this year’s IPL, had the lowest economy rate ever in an innings after three overs in the IPL by conceding only three runs and even had Navjot Singh Sidhu dedicate the post-match analysis show to the Cutter Master.

The 20 year old cutter master from Satkhira, fondly known as the Fizz is showing why he is such a vital cog in Sunrisers Hyderabad team, and the left-arm wonder recorded his most economical spell in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the ten-wicket win over Gujarat Lions at Rajkot on April 21, 2016.

For all the superlatives VVS Laxman throws around in praise, he offers a valid backing when he calls Mustafizur Rahman the 'X-factor' in the Sunrisers Hyderabad team.

Mustafizur Rahman, the name that has carved out a special place in the hearts of Tigers’ fans became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to make the ICC Team of the Year in 2015 on the back of some superb performances with the ball, especially in one-day matches.

As a crucial member of Bangladesh cricket team during the ICC T20 World Cup in India, Mustafizur Rahman has embarked on his first overseas tour, and is acclimatizing to the environment at Dharamsala where Tigers are due to play their three qualifying matches.

When the Bangladesh-India match in the Asia Cup T20 gets underway this evening at Mirpur , the obvious question about who the

India team director Ravi Shastri has forgotten all about the Mustafizur-mauling his side received on their way to a maiden series loss to Bangladesh only eight months ago in 2015.

Fawad Rana, owner of Lahore franchise, said the loss of Bangladesh's bowling sensation Mustafizur Rahman before the start of the PSL had disrupted the team's plans significantly.

The BCB could hold back Mustafizur Rahman from playing in the forthcoming PSL. The pacer was picked by Lahore Qalandars franchise for $50,000 for the T20 tournament to be held in the UAE from February 4.
