3. Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh – 5.25 ft
The former Bangladesh skipper is one of the best batsmen to have emerged from the country. He made his debut in the year 2005 when the Bangla Tigers played a one-off test at Lord’s, England. Till now he has played 350 International ties for the Asian team. Mushfiqur Rahim‘s unbeaten 219 against Zimbabwe is the highest individual score by a Bangladesh batsman in Tests.
Along with his batting, he is an efficient wicket-keeper and a livewire behind the stumps. Rahim is the only wicket-keeper to score two double centuries in Tests. He is one of the versatile players who can bat anywhere in the playing XI.
Rahim has a particular scoring shot in his arsenal which is the slog sweep against spinners, and that’s where his height of 5.25 ft might have played a crucial part.
