Miraz Al Hasan!
In the 2019 ICC ODI World Cup, an all-rounder from Bangladesh lit up the tournament with 606 runs at No 3 and 11 wickets with his left-arm spin.
His name, of course, was Shakib Al Hasan.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Four years down the line, Shakib is now the leader of the Tigers in the 2023 edition of the World Cup in India.
Shakib's role as a batter has changed in the past four years as the all-rounder now occupies a spot in the middle-order.
Shakib has given up the one-down spot to Najmul Hossain Shanto, who has risen to the challenge and is Bangladesh's highest run-getter in the format this year.
So, a performance on par with the 2019 World Cup may be a little hard for even Shakib this time around.
But in the Tiger's opening match at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the Bangladesh fans saw another all-rounder come to bat at one-down, hit a half-century to steady the innings following a rocky start and snap up three wickets with the ball.
This '2019 Shakibesque' performance came from Mehedi Hasan Miraz.
Miraz took the third wicket to fall in the Afghanistan innings, when he dismissed captain Hashmatullah Shahidi for 18, which initiated a collapse that saw the Afghans lose their remaining seven wickets for 44 runs.
Miraz claimed two more wickets and finished with figures of 3-25.
The right-handed batter came in to bat at one-down for the first time in his ODI career, although he had batted in that position in Bangladesh's warm-up games against Sri Lanka and England, after Tanzid Hasan got run-out.
After Liton Das played a ball onto his stumps, Miraz got together with Shanto and formed a 97-run partnership for the fourth wicket which set Bangladesh on course in the 157-run chase.
The 25-year-old lost his wicket after making 57 off 73 balls as Bangladesh completed the chase with six wickets to spare. Miraz was deservingly named the player of the match.
Miraz is likely to get similar chances higher up the order in the tournament as the management is viewing him as an option in the top-order.
It may be early to say whether Miraz, who has batted at No 7 or 8 for most of his ODI career, would replicate what Shakib did in 2019 or not.
But for one match at least, Miraz conjured up a '2019 Shakibesque' performance.
