Mustafizur reaches Chennai ahead of IPL 2024
CSK will be Mustafizur’s fifth IPL side, having previously played for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals.
Fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman has reached Chennai ahead of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Mustafizur will play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the tournament.
"Excited and Looking forward to my new assignment. Heading to Chennai for IPL 2024. Keep me in your prayers so that I can deliver my best," the fast bowler wrote on Facebook while leaving the country. Mustafizur confirmed his arrival in India through another Facebook post hours later.
Mustafizur was included in Bangladesh's XI for the third ODI against Sri Lanka where he bowled decently and picked up two wickets. However, he couldn't bowl his full quota of ten overs because he was stretchered off the field after suffering from cramps.
