Bangladesh cricket legend Mushfiqur Rahim has etched his name in the record books by becoming the first-ever Bangladeshi batter to score 6000 runs in Test cricket.
The milestone came during the ongoing Test match against South Africa at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Despite a challenging start to the match, Rahim’s gritty innings helped Bangladesh recover from a precarious position.
His 26-ball 31* in the first innings took him past the 6000-run mark, showcasing his resilience and determination. Rahim joins an elite group of batsmen who have achieved this feat, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest Bangladeshi cricketers of all time.
This achievement comes at a crucial time for Bangladesh, who are battling to stay afloat in the World Test Championship. Rahim’s experience and leadership will be vital for the team’s success in the coming months.
