Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: T20 Bowler of the Year

#3 Mustafizur Rahman 19%

Mustafizur has been one of Bangladesh’s greatest find in the last decade

Mustafizur has been Bangladesh’s find of the decade perhaps. The 21-year-old took the entire cricketing world by storm when he bowled Bangladesh to an ODI series win versus India in 2015. Since then he has progressed a lot and is one of the key performers for the Tigers in the shortest format of the game. He received 19 percent votes from our readers in the poll.

He is one of those rare Bangladesh pacers who can bowl the yorker at will. The youngster also generates a fair amount of pace to trouble the best batters in the business. He is also very witty and his change-ups are quite hard to pick at times.

He has so far bagged 22 wickets from 13 T20 games with a mean of 13.95. He also enjoys an impressive economy rate of 5.98 and a strike rate of 14.00. His best figures in the format are 5/22.

He bowled quite well in the World T20 in March and April but then injured himself after the IPL. He has been recovering from it since then.
