His tight lines and clever use of flight and pace make him particularly hard to score off, even for seasoned batsmen. Mujeeb has also proven himself in major franchise leagues, including the IPL, BBL, and CPL, where he has impressed with his maturity, control, and calmness under pressure. Despite his young age, his cricketing IQ is advanced, and he’s viewed as one of Afghanistan’s key assets in their bowling unit. With years ahead of him, Mujeeb Ur Rahman represents the bright future of Afghan spin bowling alongside greats like Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi.
