ছবি: Mustafiz at KKR
Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹9.2 crore at the IPL auction, raising questions about whether he will secure a regular place in the playing XI.
KKR has assembled a star-studded squad, with Sunil Narine, Cameron Green, and Matheesha Pathirana widely expected to be first-choice overseas players. This leaves limited space for other foreign cricketers, including Mustafizur.
However, Mustafizur’s effectiveness in death overs and on slower pitches could work in his favor, especially if Pathirana’s fitness becomes an issue. Team combinations, pitch conditions, and match situations are likely to determine his inclusion.
While a guaranteed spot is not assured, Mustafizur remains a key tactical option whose presence could significantly strengthen KKR’s bowling attack when conditions suit him.
