4. Tamim Iqbal: Bangladesh’s Dependable Opener
The Bangladeshi opener Tamim Iqbal has served as the face of his country’s cricketing ambitions. Tamim’s aggressive batting at the top of the order during the 2011 World Cup developed the attention of the cricketing community.
He took part in six critical matches and finished the tournament with 157 runs at an average of 26.16 runs per match. He proved his ability to excel on the biggest platform during one of his memorable innings against India, scoring an incredible 70 runs.
Tamim’s position in the 2023 World Cup goes beyond only scoring runs as the senior-most player for Bangladesh. The younger members of the squad will benefit much from his knowledge and guidance. Though, Tamim’s hitting continues to be his strongest strength, and Bangladesh’s hopes of winning the tournament depend on his ability to lead innings and excite the competition.
