Full Name: Mustafizur Rahman Date of Birth: September 6, 1995 Birthplace: Satkhira, Khulna, Bangladesh Role: Left-Arm Fast-Medium Bowler When Mustafizur Rahman made his international debut, Bangladesh cricket witnessed the birth of something truly special. Known affectionately as "The Fizz", Mustafizur, wearing jersey number 90, stormed into the international scene like a tidal wave—effortless, unorthodox, and irresistible. Born in a modest household in Satkhira, a rural town near the Sundarbans, Mustafizur grew up fishing in rivers and playing tape-ball cricket with his brothers. His rise from dirt roads to dazzling stadiums is nothing short of poetic. Discovered during a fast bowling camp, his unique bowling action and natural ability to move the ball stood out. Once he joined the Bangladesh Under-19 team, selectors quickly realized he wasn’t just good—he was different. Mustafizur made his ODI debut in 2015 against India. What followed was nothing less than a fairytale: 5 wickets on debut, followed by 6 wickets in the very next game. He wasn’t just getting wickets—he was bamboozling world-class batsmen with off-cutters, slower balls, and a deceptive pace that even the best struggled to pick. That series changed his life, and many believe it was the turning point for Bangladesh cricket on the world stage. Soon after, he shone in Tests and T20Is, quickly becoming a three-format bowler. Though slight in build, Mustafizur’s variations—especially his off-cutters and yorkers—became his signature weapons. His ability to bowl at the death with calm nerves made him one of the most sought-after pacers in T20 cricket globally. Despite battling injuries early in his career, including shoulder and ankle issues that kept him sidelined for long stretches, Mustafizur returned each time with renewed fire. His resolve was tested, but his talent never faded. He now boasts over 150 ODI wickets, multiple five-wicket hauls, and key match-winning performances for Bangladesh, including vital spells in Asia Cups, World Cups, and bilateral series wins. In franchise cricket, Mustafizur became an instant sensation. His stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2016 IPL, where he won the Emerging Player Award, announced his arrival on the global stage. He has since played for multiple IPL teams, BPL franchises, and was a mainstay in leagues like the PSL and The Hundred. What separates him from many is his humility—he lets his bowling do all the talking. Mustafizur is a quiet soul off the field, deeply tied to his roots. He often speaks fondly of his village and family, and despite fame, has remained grounded. A shy smile, a humble nod—The Fizz is a superstar who prefers silence to swagger. With jersey number 90, Mustafizur Rahman represents the beautiful collision of talent and temperament. He didn’t just bring swing and spin to pace bowling—he brought magic. For Bangladesh, he’s not just a bowler; he’s a weapon, a hope, and a reminder that even from the smallest corners, giants can rise.
