In the first Test match ever between the two teams of Bangladeshi cricket and Pakistani cricket played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, it was Mushfiqur Rahim who wrote a history book for his country. He also became the first Bangladeshi batter to score 11 Test centuries breaking Tamim Iqbal’s record of most Test hundred by any Bangladeshi male cricketer.
Moreover, he became the first Bangladeshi player to have made 5 centuries away from home. This conquest only served to enhance Rahim’s status among other renowned batsmen from Bangladesh. It is this very match which has made him cemented among other best batsmen in Bangladesh history ever. With his outstanding performance throughout the grueling five-day game against an incredibly competitive side like Pakistan, one could easily say that he is indeed an icon within Tiger nation for his batting prowess.
With his ton, Rahim has made a name for themselves in Bangladesh cricket giving younger players something to look up to.
Mushfiqur Rahim scored a stunning century:
Pakistan 448 runs for six wickets at the end of the first innings. Following this, Bangladesh’s number five hitter, Mushfiqur Rahim, scored his 11th century in Test cricket. He now had a significant record to his name. Rahim is now the first hitter from Bangladesh to score a century in a Test match at the oldest age.
Speaking about the game, Bangladesh launched a potent counterattack to score 402 runs for six wickets during the drafting of this text, in response to Pakistan’s 448 runs in the first innings. Rahim was at the crease for them with 108 runs, and Mehdi Hasan Miraz had 23 runs.
Records are being broken by Mushfiqur Rahim‘s outstanding Test career. He has cemented his status as a batting great by being Bangladesh’s all-time top run scorer in Test cricket. He also has another milestone approaching him: he will be the first batsman from Bangladesh to reach 6000 Test runs. This accomplishment would solidify his place among the nation’s all-time great batters in cricket history.
Rahim continues to be an important member of the Bangladeshi Test team thanks to his various records and steady play. His incredible accomplishments serve as an inspiration to both teammates and supporters.
