Tamim Iqbal made cricket fans very personable during closing. He brought his teammate Mushfiqur Rahim to chat live on social media. Cricket players generally don’t speak openly in the media that way. But the two stars sat down with a live basket of words. The two chatted for about an hour in lively discussion and humor, so various stories from the cricket ground also emerged.
Among many things, Tamim-Mushfiq also recalled memories of the 2018 Asia Cup. Mushfiqur’s memorable 144-race victory over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup and Tamim’s heroism with an injured hand are well known. But this time Tamim told everyone the secret of Mushfiqur’s big hitting. The left-handed starter had to leave the field due to a hand injury early in that game. Mushfiqur played the best race of 144 races amid Tamim’s injury and a quick loss of wickets.
“What was the secret of your (Mushfiqur) playing so well that day?” Tamim said with a smile. That day Bangladesh was playing with Sri Lanka, and Mushfiqur was playing with Hathurusinghe!
As Hathurusingh is the former coach of the Bangladesh team, Tamim said the words in a funny way. But at the same time, Tamim recalled that Mushfiqur played all innings with rib pain that day. The wicketkeeper-batsman won the game by batting for more than three hours due to pain in his ribs.
In Tamim’s words, ‘Actually, we all wanted to do well that day. They were all doing something. That is not a bad thing at all. We all wanted to win. Hathurusinghe was a very good coach for us.
Mushfiqur explained how he decided to play despite having rib pain. I noticed when I went to scan with the physio the day before the game, there was a fracture. That was caught later in the report. I thought, the game will not. He was dining with the Mashrafe brothers and the Riyadh brothers the night before the game. It was then that I thought it was important to play tomorrow’s game. No matter the pain, the game has to be played. ‘
Tamim also recounted how he decided to hit again with a hand injury: ‘When I went to the hospital, I repeatedly looked at the score on my mobile phone. Before entering the doctor’s room, I saw that Mithun had a good relationship with you. But when I got out and returned by ambulance, I saw some wickets fall again. Then, when I entered the locker room, Mashrafe Bhai said as he spoke: Tamim, whatever you hit. At first I thought it was a joke. I got serious in mischief. Later we all decide, if you (Mushfiq) are on strike, I will go. But unfortunately when Mustafiz came out, nothing really came to mind. I went straight down with the bat. Coach Steve Rhodes stopped me. But I will play at my own discretion and play the ball. ‘
