He took these wickets in nine matches at an average of 22.71 and a strike rate of 14.71. His economy was a bit high at 9.26 as it was not easy for him away from home but his best bowling innings came in his first match where he took 4-29 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
On his socials, 'The Fizz' posted a picture of him with India and CSK legend MS Dhoni with the caption: "Thanks for everything Mahi bhai. It was a special feeling to share the same dressing room with a legend like you."
He added, "Thanks for always believing in me," and "Looking forward to meeting and playing with you again soon."
Mustafiz's performance in the IPL has been a matter of heated debate between the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the players.
BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal Younus feels that Mustafiz playing in IPL will teach them something new and he has nothing new to learn from it.
Bangladesh pacer Shariful Islam gave his two cents on the matter and added that Mustafiz probably enjoyed playing for the national team in the IPL more because the pressure was less.
In any case, Mustafiz's IPL tenure ends here as he lifts the national team's colors in the five-match Twenty20 series against Zimbabwe starting today.
