Mushfiqur Rahim Breaks Bangladesh Test Century Record

Mushfiqur Rahim etched his name in the record books by scoring his 14th Test century on Day 3 of the second Test against Pakistan. This remarkable achievement at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium saw him overtake Mominul Haque for the most Test hundreds by a Bangladeshi batter. Rahim's milestone was celebrated with a standing ovation.

In addition to his century, Rahim's 137-run innings propelled him past 16,000 international runs, a feat previously unattained by any Bangladeshi cricketer. He is also Bangladesh's premier run-scorer in Test cricket. The hosts have posted a substantial 437-run target for Pakistan, striving for a clean sweep after their victory in the opening Test.

The first innings saw Litton Das contribute a century for Bangladesh, while Pakistan's reply was bolstered by Babar Azam's fighting half-century. Bangladesh secured a 46-run lead, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion as they aim to secure the series win.
