13 Mar
Summary
- Taskin Ahmed achieved a record 7 for 19 in the BPL.
- This performance earned him an ESPNcricinfo award for T20 franchise leagues.
- Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav also received bowling performance awards.
Taskin Ahmed has received significant recognition at the ESPNcricinfo Awards, specifically for his exceptional bowling performance in men's T20 franchise leagues during 2025. He earned this prestigious honor for his sensational figures of 7 wickets for 19 runs, achieved while representing Durbar Rajshahi against Dhaka Capitals in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
This remarkable feat saw the right-arm pacer dismantle the opposition's batting lineup, setting a new record for the best bowling figures in BPL history. Ahmed's bowling was impactful both early in the innings with the new ball and in a decisive burst at the death, sealing his seven-wicket haul.
The awards also celebrated other notable bowling achievements. Mitchell Starc was recognized for the best Test bowling performance for his crucial 7 for 58 against England in a Perth Test. Additionally, India's Kuldeep Yadav and mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy secured awards for best T20I and ODI bowling performances, respectively.
Further accolades were presented to Aiden Markram of South Africa for the best Test batting performance, and Temba Bavuma, South Africa's Test Championship-winning captain, was named Men's captain of the year. Harmanpreet Kaur, India's Women's ODI World Cup-winning captain, received the women's captain of the year award.
