IPL 2024: If Chennai Super Kings are going to defend their prestigious crown, they will have to do it the hard way as speedster Mustafizur Rahman has left the team to join the Bangladesh squad for the T20I series against Zimbabwe. CSK is currently in a difficult situation after losing three times in four games and find themselves in a must-win situation ahead of the match against PBKS on Sunday, May 5.
MS Dhoni Presents A Signed Jersey To Mustafizur Rahman
Before departing for national duties, Mustafizur Rahman had a memorable moment. The former CSK captain MS Dhoni presented the Bangladeshi speedster with a signed jersey as a parting gesture before his departure from India.
Following this heartwarming exchange, the 28-year-old Bangladeshi International took to his social media account to express his gratitude to Dhoni, posting a heartfelt thank-you note.
“Thanks for everything Mahi bhai. It was a special feeling to share the same dressing room with a legend like you. Thanks for keeping faith in me everytime. Appreciating your valuable tips, I will remember those things,” Rahman wrote on ‘X’.

Mustafizur Rahman Record in IPL 2024
Mustafizur has been one of the best bowlers in IPL 2024. He has picked up 14 wickets in nine games, with his best figure of 4/29 coming in the opening match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. One thing for certain that CSK will miss his services, especially in the death overs.
