Sport Desk :Sunrisers Hyderabad star opener Shikhar Dhawan, who struck a match-winning, unbeaten 82 against Mumbai Indians on Sunday, highly praised his teammate Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman.Mustafiz bagged 3 for 16, his best bowling figure in the Indian Premier League, to contribute in the 85-run win against Mumbai at Visakhapatnam.”Of course, Mustafizur is a great bowler and has got a great sense of bowling and he understands,” Dhawan said while speaking to media after the game.”Mustafizur has made an impact in international cricket and he is maintaining it. You can see the quality of the slower ones, bouncers, yorkers, he has got all kinds of deliveries. The best part is even if he is new to international cricket, he backs himself, backs his ability and that, I feel, works for him,” Dhawan said about Mustafizur. Referring to the communication problems of Mustafiz, Dhawan reminds that he speaks in monosyllables like ‘good’ and ‘yes’.”He doesn’t speak much but when he does, it`s only in Bengali. Still, we have Ricky who speaks Bengali. If we have to tell him something, mostly he understands what we want to tell him. Sometimes if he does not understand, Ricky is there to tell him and he becomes the mediator for us,” the flamboyant opener explained. Sunrisers will take on Rising Pune Supergiants in their next match at Visakhapatnam on Tuesday.
