Kumar Sangakkara, AB de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan are the top World Cup scorers so far. These are names that one usually associates with batting laurels. The fourth name on the list is not as famous but then sports has this uncanny habit of throwing up new heroes. Mahmudullah's bat has done most of the talking for Bangladesh in 2015 World Cup. The only Bangladeshi batsman to score a century in a World Cup, Mahmudullah on Friday, bettered his own 103 against England by slamming 128* against a determined New Zealand bowling attack in Hamilton. That this Kiwi attack was almost the same that ran through Australia and England in the tournament mattered very little to the 29-year-old gangling Mahmudullah, who can send the game's best all-rounders green with envy on his day. good luck Mahmudullah.
