About Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Mujeeb Ur Rahman is widely regarded as one of the most gifted mystery spinners in contemporary cricket. Born on March 28, 2001, in Khost, Mujeeb’s rise to international prominence was swift and impressive. At just 16 years old, he became the youngest bowler to take a five-wicket haul in an ODI, a feat he achieved against Zimbabwe in 2017.
Mujeeb’s success comes from his unique ability to vary pace, flight, and spin with subtle changes in grip and release, leaving batsmen struggling to pick his deliveries. His primary weapon is his carrom ball, which has been devastating in T20 leagues and international cricket alike.
Often tasked with bowling in powerplay overs, Mujeeb has been remarkably economical, maintaining one of the best economy rates in T20Is globally. His contribution in Afghanistan’s bowling attack is crucial alongside Rashid Khan, creating a spin duo that has troubled some of the world’s best batsmen.
Beyond international cricket, Mujeeb is a sought-after player in leagues like the IPL, Big Bash League, Caribbean Premier League, and The Hundred. His performances in these leagues have enhanced his experience and skill set, making him one of the most promising young talents worldwide.
Off the pitch, Mujeeb is known for his modesty and dedication. He stays focused on continual improvement and keeps fans updated through Instagram (@mujeeb_ur_rahman88), where he shares insights into his training and travels.
