Through his performances, Mustafizur Rahman has made a lasting mark in the Indian Premier League in 2024. The early games saw the Chennai Super Kings bowler at the peak of his deadly abilities. In the powerplays, he had made significant gains for CSK. But halfway through, the pacer was forced to say goodbye to the lucrative competition. Rahman’s thoughts have turned to his country, Bangladesh, and their upcoming Twenty20 International Series against Zimbabwe.
Rahman’s final IPL 2024 match came against CSK versus the Punjab Kings on May 1. The legendary MS Dhoni gave him a parting gift before he bid farewell to his new family in India. Dhoni sent the left-arm bowler his autographed jersey along with a heartfelt message. The speedster from Bangladesh posted a photo of the same on social media and praised MS Dhoni for all of his help.
“Mahi bhai, thank you for everything. To have a legend like you share a dressing room was an unforgettable experience. I appreciate your continued belief in me. I appreciate your insightful advice and will keep it in mind. Looking forward to our next meeting and performance together,” Rahman commented on ‘X’.
This is Mustafizur Rahman’s most recent post on “X”:
Thanks for everything Mahi bhai. It was a special feeling to share the same dressing room with a legend like you. Thanks for keeping faith in me everytime. Appreciating your valuable tips, I will remember those things.
Looking forward to meeting and playing with you again soon. pic.twitter.com/xEN9TYY9x1

A lot is going on with Mustafizur’s loss: Stephen Fleming
Mustafizur played for the reigning champions in the IPL 2024, his first season there. With an economy rate of 9.26 and an average of 22.71, he claimed 14 wickets in nine matches, demonstrating strong play. The five-match series between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, which begins on May 3, is expected to feature Mustafizur in its final two games.
An abundance of ins and outs exists. It appears that Chahar is injured. Hopefully, the physiotherapist and doctor will find nothing to be concerned about because the initial feeling wasn’t fantastic. There was a positive aspect to Richard Gleeson’s debut. Much is happening with Mustafizur’s loss. Stephen Fleming stated at the pre-game news conference, “Tushar has the flu. We lost him and had to make a few changes, which is unusual.”
