5 Bangladesh cricketers India will be wary of in the upcoming series

3. Mahmudullah

Mahmudullah

Mahmudullah was the chief architect of Bangladesh’s astounding success during the 2015 World Cup. After spending half of his career at No. 7, Mahmudullah found a new life batting up the order and slammed consecutive hundreds that helped Bangladesh qualify for the knock-out stage.

His sound technique backed by an exquisite shot-range makes him well-suited in all three formats of the game. This crafty all-rounder has a cool and calm head over his strong shoulders.

With his ability to contribute equally with bat and ball, Mahmudullah is one of the major components of Bangladesh’s blueprint for success in International cricket and in their quest to take the next leap forward.

4. Mominul Haque

Mominul Haque

In a short career spanning only 13 games, this young batting sensation has already registered his name in cricketing record books alongside legendary players. Mominul Haque has equalled Sir Vivian Richards’s record of 50-plus scores in 11 consecutive Test matches and also currently holds the distinction of having the second-highest average in test history with 61.85 runs, only second to the great Don Bradman.

This diminutive yet stylish southpaw is equally potent against spin and pace and is known to put a big price on his wicket. He is touted to be one of the most technically correct batsmen Bangladesh has ever produced and will prove to be a vital cog in Bangladesh’s batting plans especially in the longest format.

5. Rubel Hossain

Rubel Hossain

Clocking speeds of 140 kmph and above consistently, Rubel Hossain was Bangladesh’s bowling spearhead during the World Cup. The slingy right-arm bowler possesses a great yorker and showed his abilities in fiery spells against India and England.

The troubled pacer who has recently been cleared of sexual assault charges by a Dhaka court will be raring for some on-field action against India and Virat Kohli in particular. If their altercation during the World Cup quarter-final is anything to go by, the rivalry between Hossain and Kohli might prove to be one of the most interesting battles for the fans to look forward to.
