South Africa vs Bangladesh 2017: 5 players to watch out for

#2 Mushfiqur Rahim

The Bangladesh skipper will have a huge task ahead of him in South Africa

It is the kind of series that churns out heroes. In the absence of Shakib-al-Hasan, Bangladesh skipper, Mushfiqur Rahim will be tasked with rallying his troops and putting up a fight against the relentless Proteas. An experienced cricketer with a decent record, Rahim has been the pillar of Bangladesh's middle-order for the past few years.

With Shakib missing due to his self-enforced break in Tests, the onus is on Rahim to stand up and fight for his men. He is also the skipper this time around and will have to motivate his younger teammates to give it their all. It will be interesting to watch how Rahim goes about his batting and captaincy in South Africa.
