Current luckiest XI in ODI cricket

9. Mahmudullah

Mahmudullah, the right-handed spin all-rounder from Bangladesh is an exciting player and his game is quite suitable for the shorter format where he gets the liberty to express himself with the bat. Later on, he plays a vital role with the ball for Tigers. But, ODI format is a totally a different cup of tea where he is still to cement his place as a reorganized all-rounder.

In One Day Internationals, players are expected to show their calmness while batting and try to take the game deep. But, Mahmudullah has so far failed to do that as an experienced player. His inconsistency with the bat is a major problem that makes him an easy contender to be dropped out from the team. In 2019, he miserably failed as an all-rounder after scoring only 357 runs in 15 innings. Furthermore, he could only manage to take one wicket in his total 14 overs at a poor average of 106.

If Mahmudullah was playing for any country, then until now he would have been probably dropped from the national side. In the end, his luck has played a vital role as Bangladesh Cricket Board still feels that he is the best spin all-rounder in their country due to which they have not ruled him out from the team.
