Brendon McCullum not getting runs The captain shouted, "Do not worry. You will play all the matches .... ' Chris Gayle is going to the wicket with his bat Captain, licensed from behind, 'bat the life with the bat ....' Gayle-McCullum captainMashrafe Bin Mortazasaid in theBPL that T-Twenty's two megasters would be handled. The mystery of championing Rangpur riders.
Question: Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, the champion team in four of the five BPL matches. What is the magic of Captain Mashrafe?
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza: In this tournament many foreign players have played. There were rules for playing five foreign teams twice in the BPL, once again in this. Foreigners played a great role in becoming the champion of my team for the first time and now. The other two people played well twice. However, Mithun, Rubel, Gazi (Suhag) played very well. Apu has been bowling exceptionally well. With two innings in Gayle, one innings from Charles and two innings of McCullum may have made our job easier. But the locals played well before coming to the last four.
Defense: Where is your role as a captain?
Mashrafe : Here the captain's job is to give the team a tie. Each comes from different places. Keeping them as a team is very important. This time we did not have good time. The players have to say, 'Bad time is not going to mean that everyone is blaming you. Play with freedom, play as you want. Creating this environment in the group was the main task.
Mashrafe: Whenever I spoke to them, I spoke with confidence. Team meetings or individual meetings Here, they do not know better than the wickets, the weather, the demand here. So we have to talk about self confidence and I would say that way. Talk about everything with them. If he played in another team, he would probably have dropped out at one stage. He did not score any runs in 8-9 matches. But I and our coaches ... We have confirmed him, 'You will play all the matches.' I assure you, we are frustrated or franchise owners are disappointed because you can not be so, this is not the case at all. You can play your game as you can. ' I think that's what McCullum did.
Defense: Did Gayle talk about his game?
Mashrafe: I always used to say I used to have fun with him, he did. Gayle is a way of entertaining people to entertain people. An Entertainer in Your Way I have a similar match with Gayle. It was talked about. He appreciated my thinking. Many times I have spoken before batting. I would say to him, 'Kill life and play it. What is the condition of the team, what will happen if you get out? Players like them do not have to say more than that. Gayle-McCullum knows what they have to do.
Q: If there are such players in the dressing room, the local cricketers must be inspired. But what is the opposite? Suppose everyone became dependent on them ...
Mashrafe: I just saw that when the foreigners were not able to run early, the locals came forward. They thought, 'We have to do something.' Having a player like Gayle-McCullum, he was taking responsibility for himself. It seems to me to be positive. Mithun's performance is much better than those two innings from Gayle. Rubel's bowling is seen, better than Malinga.
Q: Gayle, McCullum, both are very experienced. When a Bangladeshi gave them any suggestions or guidance as a captain, how would they do it?
Mashrafe: If they did not listen to me, I had nothing to do. As a captain, I had to say it. But they took everything well. There is no problem. They also play a lot of national tournaments. They always told me when they thought of something different.
Q: Gale gave the last over to Gayle in the final. Was sure to win?
Mashrafe: (laughs) and repeatedly said to me, 'There are last wickets. Just need one ball. Why do not you tell me Do not believe me! ' I said, 'I will not tell you in the 19th over. At the end of the 19th over, I am sure that the last over will take more than 36 runs. Then you will give it. ' Then I did the last over.
Defense: There was a high profile coach in Rangpur Riders. How was your understanding with him?
Mashrafe: Tom Moody is a tough coach. If the team wins, it would not have been very excited, and did not even mind hurting. His control over himself is much more. Like most, the coach did not impose anything on me while selecting the team. Sometimes franchises might have thought of playing somebody. But the coach would tell me, 'If you do not believe in it, then you do not have to do this.' The eleventh I would take to the field, it would have been my heart that gave me freedom. Like I did bat in a few matches before. That's where I showed my confidence that the coach gave me and supported me.
