Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman ended his stint at the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) with 14 wickets as he played his last match on Wednesday at the Chidambaram Stadium for five-time winners Chennai Super Kings.

Four wickets on the night would take Fizz's IPL season tally to career-best.

“We have included Afif Hossain. As Shakib is not in the squad for the first three matches, we have picked Afif in his place,”

Mustafizur also opined that playing at the IPL is the best possible preparation for any cricketer.

“I’ve always been less inclined to watch matches, I prefer playing,” Mustafizur said in a video shared by CSK on the social media platforms today.

“You can learn from everywhere… Maybe he [Jalal Yunus] didn’t mean it like that.”
