Born on February 4, 1986, Mohammad Mahmudullah, also known as Riyad, is a distinguished Bangladeshi cricketer and former captain of the Bangladesh national cricket team in T20I matches. His cricketing career has seen him excel in First-class and List A cricket while representing Dhaka Division and Bangladesh across all formats.
Mahmudullah is recognized as an all-rounder, contributing as a lower or middle-order batsman and showcasing his skills as an off-spin bowler. His impressive stats boast nearly 10,000 runs and over 150 wickets. Notably, he is renowned for his knack for finishing closely contested limited-over matches.
A remarkable feat in his career is being the first Bangladeshi to score a century in a World Cup, with three such centuries in ICC events, including consecutive hundreds against England and New Zealand. In a trajectory reminiscent of players like Sanath Jayasuriya, Kevin Pietersen, Shoaib Malik, and Steve Smith, Mahmudullah initially started his career as a bowler and later transformed into a batsman with the added ability to deliver handy off-breaks.
