Rahman is only the second bowler to take five-wicket hauls in his first two ODIs

Mustafizur Rahman or Fizz, as he is fondly called, became a sensation overnight when he gave a tough time to the Indian batting line-up on his ODI début. He became only the second bowler to take five-wicket hauls in his first two ODIs, which also helped Bangladesh register their first-ever ODI series win over India.

Mustafizur impressed in the shorter format too, as was seen in his exploits for the Sunrisers Hyderabad and other T20 franchises around the world. And all of that began after he impressed during his campaign of the 2014 U-19 World Cup.

The Bangladeshi took nine wickets from the six games that he played, at an average of 18.44. At present, he is one of the few ODI bowlers to boast of an average of less than 20.
