ODI World Cup: Top 10 performances by Bangladesh Cricketers in ICC tournament

3. Tamim Iqbal ( 718 runs in 29 innings)

Tamim Iqbal is now the most important person in Bangladesh Cricket Fraternity considering him being the captain of the ODI squad. The swashbuckling southpaw came into the squad as a young prodigy. His gritty 51-run knock against India in the 2007 World Cup is still etched into Bangladeshi fans' memories. He showed promise to be a long racehorse. 

Being part of four World Cups till now, Tamim hasn't performed up to his standard. In the 2015 World Cup, he registered his highest World Cup score (95) against Scotland. But except that, Bangladesh missed his service quite a bit. In the last World Cup, the same story repeated when he got starts but couldn't really capitalize on it.  

But this time, Tamim has been handed over the captaincy as well. The stakes are high for the dashing left-hander, he needs to step up. He hasn't been in great form of late, even in the series against Ireland he struggled. But as the matches are in sub-continent pitches he is believed to come good.
