Mushfiqur Rahim scripts Test history for Bangladesh
Veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim reached a major career landmark during the closing day of the second Test against West Indies by becoming the first cricketer from his nation to accumulate 7,000 runs in the format. Having previously set benchmarks by crossing 5,000 and 6,000 runs in prior years, the seasoned campaigner achieved this latest milestone after turning a delivery from Roston Chase into a single.
Returning to the lineup following a finger issue that caused him to sit out the opening match of the series, the veteran extended his record tally of Test centuries to 14. Among his countrymen, Mominul Haque and Tamim Iqbal trail behind him in overall career scoring, while Towhid Hridoy recently established a new mark for the highest individual innings by a Bangladeshi batter during the same contest.
