ICC World Cup 2019: Team-wise destructive player

6. Tamim Iqbal – Bangladesh

Tamim Iqbal is the nephew of former Bangladesh skipper, Akram Khan but that has nothing to do with his aggressive yet graceful style of play. A typical left-hander with the penchant for creaming the ball through the covers, he is Bangladesh’s main player in the upcoming mega-event this time.

The 29-year-old has been in international circuit for over a decade. From averaging 21 in his debut year to an average of 85 in 2018, Tamim has been the spine of Bangladesh’s top order. And en-route, he became the country’s all-time highest run-getter in ODIs. Tamim played an imperative role in Bangladesh’s run upto the semi-finals in CT 2017 and also averages of 50.71 on English soil which should delight the fans.
