Mushy gets back in touch with emotions

In the last week Mushfiqur Rahim has thrown punches in the air, shown bowlers where he hit them in the middle of the game and also, oddly enough, celebrated like X-Pac from the WWE's D-Generation X with his hands crossed.

He has revelled in the Bangladesh Premier League with the bat and while he has never been afraid of expressing his emotions, he has however, been extremely calm on the field. These are traits that weren't too commonly seen prior to the England series when Mushfiqur was still looking to regain his form.

Speaking to reporters after yesterday's win over the Chittagong Vikings, Mushfiqur admitted that he is enjoying this current run of his.

“You can say that yes. I am delighted to have come back to form. Also, I have tried to keep a steady expression for quite some time now and that did not seem to work. So, I told myself, why not try something different and let my emotions out a bit,” smiled Mushiqur during the post-match press conference at Mirpur yesterday.

“It's nothing too different, honestly speaking. We celebrate whenever we win. You know that all the teams are working quite hard. The owners have plenty of input and we need to give them something back.

“We have been successful so it feels good. We have been playing quite well in the last few matches. It's not easy to win in T20s because there's always a risk. So from that aspect it feels really good,” he added.
