1. Mahmudullah means warrior, Mahmudullah means comeback story Mahmudullah arrived at the press conference, looking downcast as he explained the heart-wrenching loss to Scotland. Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah started his World Cup in 2021 World Cup by losing, it was the Scottish who stopped Mahmudullah. A picture of Mahmudullah waiting for the Scottish festival to stop with his hand on his cheek was also trolled on social media. This is the beginning of Mahmudullah's sinking in T20 cricket...! That beginning culminated in the 2022 Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates. Mahmudullah was dropped from the team after that tournament. This 'Matador' of Bangladesh cricket has no place even in the 2022 T20 World Cup. This time Mahmudullah did not say anything. But worked. This means the cricketer has done what the Matadors have to do. He 'buried' the criticism on him with a great performance. Seeing his performance, Jalal Yunus, head of BCB's cricket management department, directly said that there is no chance to think twice about Mahmudullah in the T20 team. That means he is now the team's auto-choice. If the 2021 T20 World Cup October 7 is the day of Matador Mahmudullah's 'death', then January 31, 2024, will be his 'revival'. It is, of course, in T20 cricket. Mahmudullah's new start in ODI was in the last ODI World Cup. Mahmudullah was 37 years old when he was dropped from the T20 team, which was going to play in the eighth T20 World Cup. At this age, many people choose to retire from cricket. So naturally the epitaph of Mahmudullah's career was written by many. But what if common cricket lovers think that Mahmudullah is a pure cricket matador? A warrior never sees the end of himself! So even as Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim

2. Iqbal said goodbye to T20 cricket, Mahmudullah was 'standing tall' waiting to fight again. During the time Mahmudullah was 'Bratya' in the Bangladesh team in T20 cricket, the Bangladesh team played 25 T20 matches. After so much time that he returned to T20, his foundation was built by Mahmudullah with the 'weapons' he had. That weapon is nothing else, ODI cricket. Mahmudullah was the team's highest run scorer even though Bangladesh failed to get a chance in the 2023 World Cup squad. He scored 328 runs at 54.66 in 7 innings. This means the 'warrior' of Bangladesh cricket got back to Swaruta when he got the chance. Still, a question remained for many people - if you can do it in ODI, can you do it in T20? Mahmudullah chose BPL as the platform to answer this question. Fortune averaged 237 runs in 13 innings for Barisal, with a strike rate of 134.65. Runs, average, or strike rate—none of the three may impress many. But many of these innings were very effective for the team. After his BPL performance, his return to the T20 team was pretty much confirmed. The word Mahmudullah 'auto choice' comes up again in the mouth of BCB officials. Mahmudullah then returned to the international T20 last March, with a series against Sri Lanka. The veteran cricketer's return was also a heroic one - hitting Angelo Mathews for a six off the first ball. Even though Bangladesh could not win that day, he scored a fifty off 27 balls. In that innings of 4 sixes, he sent a ball over square leg to the roof of the gallery. The ball never returned to the field. In T20 since then, one thing is seen regularly in Mahmudullah's batting - intent. This is the fifth match in the Zimbabwe series. 3 wickets for 15 runs in the powerplay - played for runs despite coming to the wicket, and scored a 36-ball fifty. Being an auto pick at one point, then being dropped from the team, then being an auto pick again—there is no doubt that Mahmudullah has worked for it. But here he has his specialty. He did not complain about

3. his absence or return, nor did he ask for a reply. He just did his work in silence. While he was left out of the team, there was much talk about his fitness. But even at the age of 38 years and 100 days, great fitness is his biggest asset. Mahmudullah can be called a cricket warrior who fights silently and does not accept defeat! That is why the first sentence that will come to mind when writing about his cricket life may be like this - Mahmudullah means warrior, and Mahmudullah means comeback story.
