Warner showers praises on Mustafiz
BSS, Dhaka :
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner has showered full of praises on pace bowling sensation Mustafizur Rahman also known by international media as “Fizz” for his brilliant performance in the just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL).
“Obviously, Mustafizur Rahman is a promising player for Bangladesh. It is a credit to him that he has played outstanding cricket along with Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) … hope he keeps fit and strong for future games,” said Warner at the post-match press conference after leading Sunrisers to their maiden IPL title at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore in India last night.
Warner led from the front with a sparkling 69 off 38 balls before Bhuvneshwar and Mustafizur Rahman bowled brilliantly in the death over to register eight-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL final.
Defending 208 to claim their maiden IPL title, Hyderabad restricted Virat Kohli’s RCB to 200 for seven. Mustafizur formed a lethal combination along side Bhuvneshwar (23 wickets) for Sunrisers this season. Fizz, who bagged 17 wickets from 16 matches, won the emerging players award including a trophy and Rs. ten lakh. He also had the best economy rate 4.93 in the Powerplays in this IPL season among those bowlers who bowled at least 15 overs.
Warner also lauded IPL’s highest wicket taker Bhuvneshwar Kumar, terming him as a world-class bowler. “Bhuvi just can’t wait to take on the seamer as a opposition batsman,” the Australian said.
“Obviously Bhuvi is in and out of the Indian team, but he is a world-class bowler. With the new ball as an opening batsman I would like to come up against him on a wicket like this because he sets the tone from ball one,” said Warner. The Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper attributes their success to team efforts. “It’s not about me, it’s about the team. It takes team effort to win a tournament. It is a family effort and that’s why we have laid our claim on the title,” he said.
