Bangladesh's seasoned pacer Mustafizur Rahman has touched down in Chennai ahead of the much-anticipated 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The cricketer himself shared the news through his social media channels, marking the beginning of his latest IPL campaign.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the upcoming challenge, Mustafizur Rahman had earlier bid farewell on social media, seeking support from his fans as he embarks on this new journey with the Chennai Super Kings.
His arrival in Chennai follows a commendable performance in Bangladesh's recent ODI clash against Sri Lanka in Chattogram, where he showcased his bowling prowess, clinching two crucial wickets. However, his participation in the game was cut short due to cramps, necessitating his removal from the field on a stretcher. Fortunately, it appears to be only a minor setback for the determined pacer.
Having previously represented franchises like Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, and Delhi Capitals, Mustafizur Rahman brings a wealth of experience to his seventh IPL season. The defending champions, Chennai Super Kings, secured his services for a base price of Rs 2 crore during the auction, demonstrating their confidence in his abilities.
As CSK gears up to commence their IPL campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 22, all eyes are on Mustafizur Rahman. With CSK's overseas bowling options limited due to Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana's hamstring injury, the spotlight is firmly on Mustafizur Rahman, who could potentially play a crucial role in the opening fixture under the leadership of the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
