Tamim Iqbal

The current leader in run scoring is Tamim Iqbal, who formerly captained the Bangladesh national cricket team. Iqbal led the Bangladesh Premier League in run scoring with 2,628 runs scored across 79 matches, making him the top run scorer in the league (BPL). His greatest score in this tournament is 141, and he is still in the running. During the 2018–19 season, he was a big part of Comilla Victorians’ championship run in the league. In the decisive encounter against Dhaka Dynamites, he smashed his way to a brilliant century, scoring 141 runs not out of 61 balls.

Mushfiqur Rahim

Mushfiqur Rahim, an accomplished wicketkeeper and batter for the Sylhet Strikers, became the first cricketer to play 100 matches in the Bangladesh Premier League in a match between the Sylhet Strikers and the Dhaka Dominators at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (BPL). On the other side, Mushfiqur has been a mainstay of the BPL across all nine of its editions. After 99 games, he is the second-leading run-scorer in the tournament based on franchises, with an average of 37.97 runs per game. So far, he has scored 2582 runs. In this competition, his highest score was 98, not out, so he fell short of the century mark.

Mahmudullah

Mahmudullah, the captain of Dhaka, was the only batter who had contributed to the team, along with Tamim. After losing early wickets, the Bangladesh T20I captain batted most of the time as his team struggled. The right-handed batter was crucial in the game-saving innings, finishing with 255 runs in nine innings and a top score of 70 not out. In the opinion of many individuals, there have been decisions that have exacerbated the difficulties faced by the team comprised of Tamim, Mashrafe bin Mortaza, and numerous more seasoned campaigners from around the nation. Despite this, issues have been raised about his leadership’s methodology and thought process.
