Towhid Hridoy reaches new heights with historic 242 in Sylhet Test vs West Indies
Towhid Hridoy etched his name into the record books by scoring an unbeaten 242 for Bangladesh against the West Indies, marking the highest individual Test score by a player from his country. His massive innings, which featured 11 sixes and 22 fours across 359 balls, helped his side overcome a difficult start to post 386 for nine.
This performance makes him the fourth Bangladeshi to reach a Test double century and the first to turn a maiden hundred into one. Hridoy received key support from Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed during lower-order partnerships that pushed Bangladesh to a 30-run lead.
This achievement follows his record-breaking 350 for Bangladesh A against South Africa A earlier this year.
