Bangladeshi bowling sensation Mustafizur Rahman aka The Fizz, returned home this week to a hero’s welcome after helping Sunrisers Hyderabad to their first-ever IPL title on Sunday.
The 20-year-old picked up 17 wickets in 16 outings for the new Champions as he finished at number 5 in the bowlers standings.
The video below, of his homecoming, has gone viral with over 37,000 views in just three days.
Rahman was also named the emerging player of the tournament, the first foreign cricketer to be bestowed with the honour, after conceding just 6.9 runs per over, the least among those who bowled in at least 10 matches.
