He is the first batsman to score two centuries in the history of Bangladesh. Mushfiqur Rahim’s name was the first to reach the milestone of five thousand runs. But what an incredible match in both cases! Twice the opponent is Sri Lanka – this match is there, the even bigger match is the milestone of Mushfiqur being the first. Before Mushfiqur, another teammate of his was leading the race for the milestone. But in the end, for some reason or another, Mushfiqur did not get the record of that teammate.
Fate? Maybe. However, Mushfiqur is reluctant to accept that. Mushfiqur was asked about his fate at a press conference after reaching the 5,000 milestones on the second day of the Test against Sri Lanka in Chittagong today. Mushfiqur pointed to the answer and reminded me that even if there is luck, it is due to his tireless work.
Besides, Mushfiqur also said what he had talked about with Tamim after he became the first Bangladeshi in the list of 5,000 after dramatically surpassing Tamim Iqbal.
Tamim and Mushfiqur both started the match with a handful of five thousand runs
When I come to practice in the morning, you all fall asleep. GOD is Seer of everything
Mushfiqur Rahim on the question of the contribution of fate behind his being the first to reach the milestone
Tamim and Mushfiqur both started the Test with a 5,000-run milestone. Before Mushfiqur, Tamim was likely to set the record. But in the scorching heat, Tamim suffered from dehydration and fatigue. When Tamim, who was batting from a distance of 5,000 to 152 runs, retired with an injury of 133 runs, Mushfiqur was still batting at 14 runs from 75,000 to 54 runs.
Finally, sitting in the dressing room, Tamim saw Mushfiqur go to the 5,000 milestones. Seeing him greet Mushfiqur from the dressing room, it did not seem at all that he was sorry about it. What happened to the two later? At the press conference, Mushfiqur replied, “Why not talk! He knows all (statistics), who knows what happens when! He was close, so he said, “It’s not mine, it’s yours.”
This time, he crossed Tamim and reached the milestone of 5,000. At the end of the third day, Mohammad Ashraful was batting for 190 runs, and Mushfiqur had 152 runs. But on the morning of the fourth day, Ashraful was out by adding 1 run.
Mushfiqur completed 5,000 runs in 81 Tests
Fate? You can say, but there is also talk. Twice Ashraful has been out for some reason or another, and Tamim has been injured. But then Mushfiqur could take the opportunity.
Mushfiqur first said in a press conference today, “I always think that what you do on your own is what your teammates, brothers, and friends feel if you achieve it.”. After my double hundred, my record was broken. Normal, the record is for breaking. He then told me again that in two or three years you would break mine again. It’s a healthy competition. ”
Then he said with luck, ‘And whatever you say, Lucky … this is the fortune you see … (quoting verses from the Holy Qur’an) When I come to practice in the morning, you all fall asleep. God sees everything. ‘
However, Mushfiqur hopes that many more will surpass this milestone in Bangladesh cricket. Expressing his feelings about the great achievement, he said, “It is very good that I have scored 5,000 runs as the first batsman of Bangladesh. But I don’t think that’s the end of it. God willing, many more will do, there are many players to do it. I am not just talking about seniors, there are also juniors. I hope we will see a time in the future when they will also run 8 thousand, 10 thousand runs at a time. ‘
Mushfiqur, who has reached the milestone of 5,000 runs after two centuries, was asked what kind of legacy he would like to see in the country’s cricket. I fed cake to Joy (Mahmudul Hasan) there, then I told him, you are now the youngest batsman on the team, during 10 thousand runs I hope you will feed another one like this. That’s what we want them to do, wherever we leave off. Only then will Bangladesh cricket move forward. ‘
However, Mushfiqur remained a little arrogant in everything. Legacy, what do you want to see in the country’s cricket … that question made sense, ‘there is nothing to ask for. What I think is that experience is of no value in Bangladesh. The fact that I have been able to play for 16 years is a big thing for me. I can do as much as Allah has put in front of me. ‘
