** Mustafizur Rahman had a wild day-and-a-half, bowling a tight spell (2/17) for Bangladesh in a T20I against the UAE in Sharjah, then jetting off to Delhi—over 2,000 km away—to suit up for the Delhi Capitals in their IPL clash against Gujarat Titans. He was a last-minute replacement for Mitchell Starc, but the Titans won the toss and opted to field first, bringing Kagiso Rabada back into their lineup.
What This Means: ** This isn’t just another cricket stat—it’s a glimpse into the breakneck pace of modern sports. Players like Mustafizur are bouncing between international duties and franchise leagues with barely time to catch their breath, showing how packed the calendar is and how adaptable athletes have to be. For fans, it’s a reminder that cricket’s evolving into a truly global, non-stop spectacle.
