Even though he was a cricketer, he broke the legacy of legendary Pakistani paceman Waqar Younis's record of 28 years ago. It is also an obscure spinner.
After Rashid Khan, 16-year-old Mujibur Rahman is being considered as one of the most recent crop of Afghan cricket. In the last Under-19 World Cup, Afghanistan was one of the hand tools of this off-spinner.
Although one-day international cricket has debuted before the Under-19 World Cup. Last year, he took four wickets in the debut match against Ireland.
He achieved the feat for the first time in the seven-match ODI series, taking five wickets in the first innings.
Mujibur Rahman's 50-run fifth wicket win against Zimbabwe in the fourth one day match, Afghanistan took the series. The Afghan spinner's age stands at 16 years 325 days, showing the way to Zimbabwe's five batsmen. He is the best bowler to take five wickets in one-day internationals.
He broke the wristwalker Waqar Younis's record in the 1990s. Waqar had established a work that was 18 years 164 days old.
Kings XI Punjab has bought Mujib Ur Rahman for a huge amount of Rs 4 crore in the IPL auction last month. Mujibur Rahman has joined the IPL as the third Afghan cricketer after Rashid and Nabi.
