Tamim Iqbal is a well-known player in the international circuit. He has been part of the Bangladesh team for the last ten years. In the last 2-3 years, his form has seen a peak and his consistency has reached a different level.

The 29-year-old left-hander is one of the top performers from Bangladesh. He has played a crucial part in the success of Bangladesh in the last few years. He is an aggressive batsman by nature and has a decent record in the international T20s. He has a T20I hundred to his name as well.

On his day, he can definitely destroy a bowling attack on his own. It’s surprising that he hasn’t played a single game in the IPL. He was part of the Pune Warriors India franchise but never got a game. He was on the bench throughout the two seasons. In the last few years, he is going unsold at the auction. Maybe one day some team will pick him and he will get a chance to play in the biggest T20 league.
