Mushfiqur Rahim is a Bangladeshi cricketer

Mohammad Mushfiqur Rahim ( born 9 June 1987) is a Bangladeshi cricketer and the former captain of the Bangladesh national cricket team. Between August 2009 and December 2010 Rahim served as Bangladesh's vice-captain in all formats. At domestic level he represents Rajshahi Division and captains Sylhet Super Stars.

According to Jamie Siddons in 2010, a former Bangladesh coach, Rahim's batting is so versatile that he can bat anywhere in the top order, from one to six.

Bangladesh qualified for the super 10s in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, by winning two of their three matches in qualifying stage. But they were knocked out in the super 10s, having lost all the four matches.

Bangladesh toured the West Indies in August 2014. During the first test, Mushfiqur scored 116 in the second innings, picking up his third test century. However, they lost all three ODIs and two test matches.

In September 2014, BCB appointed Mortaza as the ODI captain while Rahim still remained to be the skipper in test formats for Bangladesh. In 2014, against Zimbabwe in November 2014, Bangladesh whitewashed Zimbabwe in both the three tests and five ODIs. He was also awarded the man of the series for the ODI matches.

During the first test against New Zealand at Basin Reserve, Rahim was hit on the back of the helmet on the fifth day of match and immediately taken to hospital. The incident took place in the 43rd over of Bangladesh's second innings when Tim Southee bowled a bouncer that hit Rahim just behind left ear as he was trying to duck. Initial X-rays and scans to his neck suggested he was out of immediate danger. Rahim attended to the post match presentation after the treatments

In March 2017, during the second Test against Sri Lanka, Rahim took his 100th dismissal as a wicket-keeper. He became the first wicket-keeper for Bangladesh to reach this milestone.

On 15 October 2017, during the first ODI against South Africa, Rahim became the first batsman for Bangladesh to score an international century against South Africa in any format.
