Rubel's path has never been smooth in the five-year international career! Although many of his teammates have made permanent place in the team with their performances, it has not been possible for Rubel. However, yesterday he fulfilled all expectations by bringing Bangladesh a 43-run victory with six wickets in addition to a hat-trick!
But Rubel's debut match was wrapped in dreams. As the first Bangladeshi bowler in the debut match, Rubel showed his talent by taking four wickets against Sri Lanka, in that match Bangladesh won by five wickets in an innings of 92 runs by Shakib Al Hasan. However, Khal Nayak went to forest in the next match. Muttiah Muralidharan brought out the losing match by beating him hard in the last two overs. It can be said that the fans of Bangladesh were unhappy with Rubel for bowling such a defeat in that match.
However, he brought himself to the limelight again in 2010 against New Zealand. Kiwis needed 4 runs off the last four balls to win. It was in this Mirpur that the image of Rubel running with one hand raised by bowling Kyle Mills has found a permanent place in Bangladesh's cricket archive. 'Banglawash' was confirmed in that bold. Bowled a career-best (4/25) and was match-best on the day.
However, due to some injuries and lack of performance, he was quite irregular in the team. But in the meantime, he has worked hard on his bowling. Captain Mushfiqur said the same in the press conference yesterday, "He has improved a lot in Premier League bowling as well. Most of the matches had an economy rate of 3 or 3.5. Learned to hit the ball in good places. Today (yesterday) I did not say a single word, to do this or to do that. He did everything in his own mind."
"He bowled brilliantly in Tests too. Despite not getting wickets, I think he is the only pace bowler who has consistently bowled well. The way he is speaking, he deserved it."
Of course, coach Shane Jurgensen was able to catch this unusual Rubel! Before the start of the ODI, the coach said, “Rubel has improved a lot in bowling! It is unfortunate not to get wickets after bowling so well in Tests. He is very confident now, I hope he will do well with the new ball in ODIs as well as he did with the old ball in Tests."
Who would have thought that Rubel would show a hat trick like this, the return of coach Shane Jurgensen's confidence! Rubel became only the 31st bowler in the history of ODI hat-trick.
Let's look back at Rubel's hat trick!
Rubel, who took one wicket before the rain, started the hat-trick by bowling Corey Anderson on the third ball of his first over after the rain. In the very next ball, he made New Zealand captain and one of the best batsman Brendon McCullum caught by substitute fielder Shamsur Rahman at backward point. Neesham wanted to flick the hat-trick ball pitched outside the leg stump. But skipper Mushfiqur Rahim fulfilled Rubel's dream by jumping brilliantly and gloved the ball.
