IPL 2020: Five unsold bowlers who could return as replacements

#2 Mustafizur Rahman - 1 CR

Mustafizur Rahman

Everybody knows the Bangladesh left-arm pacer, Mustafizur Rahman, as ‘The Fizz.’ He became famous when he picked up two five-wicket hauls against India in Bangladesh way back in 2015. In 2016, he was picked up by the SRH team and he had a fabulous IPL.

In the 2016 season, he picked up 17 wickets in 16 games at an economy rate of just 6.90. He was fantastic with his change of pace and Yorkers at the death. Later on, he suffered a shoulder injury which has caused a lot of problems in his bowling. Since his injury, we haven’t seen the old Mustafizur as he seems to have lost the Fizz. He still has those cutters which go across the right-hander and he used them well in the World Cup as he picked up 20 wickets in eight matches.

MI backed him in 2018 but he didn’t come good. With his IPL experience, he could be a handful on the slow pitches of Chennai or Delhi. Teams like CSK or DC can think of him as a replacement option if the need arises.
