#4 Mahmudullah

Mahmudullah, like many other cricketers, started off his career as a bowler who could bat a bit but then reinvented himself into a batsman who could bowl handy off-spin.

Largely, Mahmudullah has batted at No. 6 or 7 for Bangladesh. He has been pretty good in finishing innings off for them. In the Champions Trophy this year, along with Shakib, Mahmudullah helped Bangladesh chase down 265 after being reduced to 33/4. This helped them enter their first ever semi-final in an ICC event.

He has been in very good form this year, scoring 297 in nine innings (5 not outs).
