Beyond the numbers
17,879 runs across 528 career appearances
Across Tests, ODIs, T20Is and the Bangladesh Premier League, Mushfiqur Rahim has accumulated 17,879 runs at a career batting average of 36.56. Of those, 404 appearances came in Bangladesh Cricket colours, making him one of the most capped players in the country's history.
ODIs are his strongest format by volume and average
In 227 One-Day Internationals, Rahim has scored 7,096 runs at an average of 38.99 and a strike rate of 80.79. His Test average of 40.17 across 95 matches is marginally higher, but the ODI format is where he has played most and contributed most consistently.
Sri Lanka his most productive opponent
Against Sri Lanka across 65 matches, Rahim averages 45.51 with 3,049 runs. That is comfortably his best return against any opponent and significantly above his overall career average of 36.56.
R. Premadasa Stadium his best venue by average
In 8 appearances at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Rahim has scored 374 runs at a batting average of 74.80 and a strike rate of 106.25. Those are outlier numbers compared to any other ground in his record.
BPL 2026 form has been modest
Across his last 10 BPL appearances, the highest score is 46 not out off 41 balls. Two of those innings ended for ducks off single deliveries, and only twice did he pass 30, suggesting a patchy run of form heading into the latter stages of the tournament.
