Magical Mustafizur delivers another superb performance in IPL
He didn't concede a single boundary.
Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the bowlers for the Rajasthan Royals in the 36th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) in Abu Dhabi.
Against Delhi Capitals, Mustafizur opened the bowling for RR and bowled a six-run over. Skipper Sanju Samson brought him back in the 12th over and the left-arm seamer made an impact by dismissing a set Rishabh Pant for 24.
Mustafizur returned at the death to bowl the 17th over and got the better of the dangerous Shimron Hetmyer who scored 28 off 16. Mustafizur bowled a yorker first up and followed it up with a full delivery to induce the outside edge of Hetmyer's bat. Chetan Sakariya took a comfortable catch at short third man.
