Achievements
When Rangpur Readers played their first season in BPL, they did not perform well and made it to the league stage. After that, in 2015, this team reached the playoffs, similarly, this team was disgraced in the first two or three seasons of this league,
and finally, this team won the BPL season of 2017. After that, the team could not give any special performances and could not attract people due to their poor performance. And in the current season of BPL, their performance is absolutely fine.
Future Outlook
This team has not been able to perform anything special in the past and their past record is also not special this team has only won one BPL season and after that season their performance has been very poor. This time they have very good players and they have very good chances to win next season. Babar who is Dina’s number one batsman is also a part of this team and Babar has so far played two match-winning innings to win his team losing matches. Will be the winner of this season۔
Fan Base
Rangpur Raiders have 6700 followers on Facebook and 4400 followers on Twitter, their fans are by the way many who come to the ground to watch their matches and support their team ever since Babar Azam joined the team.
What is it since then the number of followers and fans of this team has increased a lot, many people like and support this team because of Babar Azam in this season. A lot of people support this team because of Babar in Pakistan and wherever there are Babar fans.
Notable Rivalries
Rangpur Riders have big rivalries with Durdanto Dhaka۔ A couple of days ago Durdanto Dhaka’s wicketkeeper was very rude while batting with Babar Azam. He should not have done this to Babur. Babur was his guest.
By misbehaving, he has proved how hospitable he is. Babar also has some respect. He is the number one batsman in the world. All newbies should respect them. Whoever invites Mahan to his house and then misbehaves with him is a very bad thing and should not have done so.
Weakness
The weakness of this team is that this team has not had some good players for the past few years. This team did not have any special bowlers or batsmen due to which this team was not successful. This team has won the BPL season only once.
Strength
In this season of BPL the biggest strength of this team is their batting, last many years their batting was nothing special this time their batting is also good, and their bowling too. If this time their batting and bowling magic works, then this team can win the tournament. So far in the current season 2024, this team has won the matches all won by good batting performance۔
