Mushfiqur Rahim has been the talk of the national media after his below-par performance in both of Bangladesh’s loss in the Asia Cup 2022. While he failed to score big against Afghanistan, Rahim was severely criticised for dropping a sitter against Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis that had a huge impact on the outcome of the game.
