New Delhi:
Mushfiqur Rahim, who has achieved the status of the greatest batsman in the history of Bangladesh, recently created havoc with the bat in the 2-0 win against Pakistan. Pakistani bowlers were creating havoc. In the series, Mushfiqur was the second highest run scorer in the series, but whenever this veteran batsman comes in front of Ashwin, he gets stunned. Burdened with 515 runs in the second innings, the Bangladesh team was expecting a big innings from Mushfiqur, but Mushfiqur was forced to play an on-drive or half helicopter shot and returned to the pavilion after being caught by KL Rahul at mid-on. With this, his figures against Ashwin became even worse.
Ashwin did this
It became clear again in Chennai that whenever Mushfiqur came in front of Ashwin, his wrist was exposed that despite being such a veteran, he could not take out the bite of the Indian off-spinner. The figures are clearly confirming this. Mushfiqur, who has played 11 innings against Ashwin so far, has scored only 143 runs in 207 balls. And Ashwin has made him his victim 5 times during this period. In this way, Rahim could average only 28.6 against Ashwin.
Such a demonstration was against Pakistan
If recently Bangladesh could create history by defeating host Pakistan 2-0 on its soil, then Mushfiqur Rahim had a big contribution in it. Rahim had scored 216 runs at an average of 108 with the only century of 191 runs in the two-Test series. And he was the second most successful batsman after Mohammad Rizwan (294). In such a situation, his team had high expectations from Mushfiqur Rahim in Chennai, but Ashwin made Rahim scream.
