“I don’t watch much cricket on television, I don’t even see my own matches. I have been like this since childhood. I don’t know why I am like this, I just don’t like it probably,” says Mustafizur Rahman — the 20-year-old Bangladeshi pace sensation — who is playing his first season in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. During that period - "everybody wants to learn BANGLA from me."
WOOW....,, what are we doing!!! we are fighting to learn ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH, HINDI, bla bla....
Why? Because without knowing those language, we shall not able to 'earn food'!
And that is the strength of those nation. You are bound to learn their language to 'earn food'. When you are strong - personally or nationally - every body, even every nation will jump to learn your every footstep and will also try to set himself/herself/themselves in any corner of your arena for earning. This is the actual world.
Mustafiz is soft-spoken, keeps a low profile and doesn’t let the spotlight and glamour affect his poetry with the cherry unlike many other fast bowlers. He isn’t well-versed in English, leave alone Hindi, but he still keeps up.
“Olpo sholpo ja pari, tai diya choltese, bhaloi lagse" (whatever little I can speak, I am managing with it, I am liking it). It feels great to be the only Bengali among players from different cultures and countries.
Rahman is also the youngest among his siblings. He owes a lot to his third brother among six, Mokhlesur, for helping him out in the initial phase of his career.
“We are a middle class family, my brother luckily had a bike. He used to drop and pick me up from my training ground, 40 kilometres away from our house in Shatkhira,” said Rahman.
And now - Everybody wants to learn bangla from him.
