Mustafizur Rahman creates ODI history by taking 11 wickets in first two matches

New Delhi: Bangladesh's new sensation, Mustafizur Rahman once again rocked the famed Indian batting line-up by taking six wickets in the second One-Day International at Mirpur. Rehman ended his allotted 10-overs spell with the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja for an impressive bowling figure of 10-0-6-43.

Earlier, rain stopped play after 43.5 overs play with India stuttering at 196 losing eight wickets and Rahman in his last over. The match resumed under revised playing condition, for a 47 overs per side and soon Bangladesh bowled India out for 200 runs in 45 overs.

Carrying from his impressive debut in the first ODI, wherein he took five wickets, the 19-year-old left-arm medium pace bowler toyed with Indian batsmen. Rohit Sharma (0), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (47), Suresh Raina (34), Axar Patel (0) and Ravichandran Ashwin (4) were his other victims.

Off-break bowler Nasir Hossain and right-arm paceman Rubel Hossain complemented the youngster by taking two wickets each.

Rahman is the second player to take 5-wicket hauls in first two ODIs after Zimbabwean Brian Vitori. Strangely, Bangladesh were at the receiving end of Vitori's exploits in 2011. But Rahman is the only player to have taken 11 wickets in the first two ODI matches.

Bangladesh had won the first ODI by 79 runs in Dhaka on Thursday, and Rahman was the man of the match.
