mushfiqur rahim
A new chapter has been added in the history of Bangladesh cricket team. Bangladesh team has got the first batsman who has achieved a special position in Test cricket. This batsman is none other than the team’s experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim, who has created a new record after completing 6 thousand runs in Test cricket.
The first Test match is being played between Bangladesh and New Zealand at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. On the very first day of the match, the entire Bangladesh team collapsed for just 106 runs in the first innings. After this, South Africa scored 308 runs in its first innings on the second day. Bangladesh made a better comeback in the second innings and by the end of the day’s play, the team had put 101 runs on the scoreboard after losing 3 wickets. Mahmudul Hasan Joy returned unbeaten after scoring 38 runs and Mushfiqur Rahim returned unbeaten after scoring 31 runs.
As Mushfiqur Rahim hit a four off Keshav Maharaj shortly before the end of the day’s play, he created a new history by completing 6000 Test runs. Rahim has become the first batsman for Bangladesh to score 6000 runs in Test. Before this, no batsman had been able to achieve this feat for Bangladesh.
Mushfiqur Rahim has so far scored 6003 runs in Test cricket in 72 innings of 93 Test matches at an average of 38.48. During this period, he has scored 11 centuries and 27 half-centuries. His unbeaten 219 runs is his best score in Test cricket. Mushfiqur, who made his Test debut against England at Lord’s in 2005, is one of the most dangerous batsmen of Bangladesh. However, it took him a long time of 19 years to touch the figure of 6 thousand test runs.
