Mushfiqur Rahim's ODI career highlights

Bangladesh batter Mushfiqur Rahim called time on his 19-year ODI career with an announcement on his official Facebook page on Wednesday. Here are some of the 37-year-old cricketer's ODI highlights:
- Mushfiqur played 274 matches -- the most in the 50-over format for Bangladesh. The right-handed batter amassed 7795 runs at an average of 36.42 and a strike-rate of 79.70. He scored nine hundreds and 49 half-centuries in the process.
- Four of his centuries contributed to winning causes, including an iconic 144 against Sri Lanka -- also his best score in the format -- in the 2018 Asia Cup in Dubai. He scored as many in losing causes, and one century came in a match ending in a no result.
- The 37-year-old is also Bangladesh's second-highest run-getter in ODIs, after Tamim Iqbal (8357).
- With nine tons in the format, he sits joint-second, with Shakib Al Hasan, for most centuries for the Tigers.
- Mushfiqur, with 100 maximums, is third for most sixes hit by a Bangladesh player after Mahmudullah Riyad (107) and Tamim Iqbal (103).
- With the wicket-keeping gloves on, Mushfiqur made 297 dismissals -- the most by a Bangladesh wicket-keeper and the fifth-highest in the format overall. This includes 241 catches behind the stumps and 56 stumpings.
- Mushfiqur Rahim is the only Bangladeshi batter who has been dismissed on 99 in ODIs. The wicketkeeper-batter, however, was adjudged player of the match in that Asia Cup Super Four game against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi as the Tigers won the contest by 37 runs.
