This Krishna devotee cricketer from Bangladesh created a sensation in Pakistan, made history in Test cricket | News India

The Bangladesh team has created a stir in Pakistan. Cricket giants have also kept their fingers in their mouths. They have consistently had the upper hand in the 2 Test match series. They achieved a historic victory in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi and strengthened their hold in the second match as well. After taking an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the series, the Bangladeshi team surprised Pakistan by making a comeback in the second Test.

6 wickets fell for 26 runs
Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. Pakistan scored 274 runs in the first innings. Then when the Bangladesh team came out to bat for the first innings, their performance surprised everyone and they lost 6 wickets for just 26 runs. Looking at the condition of the visiting team, it seemed that they would lose this match by a big margin and Pakistan would level the series but Bangladesh made a tremendous comeback.

These giants failed
Bangladesh's experienced batsmen Mushfiqur Rahim 3, Shakib Al Hasan 2, Zakir Hasan 1, captain Nazmul Hussain 4, Mominul Haque 1 and Shadman Islam were out after scoring 10 runs. Then Liton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took charge of the innings. Liton Das, the only Hindu player in the Bangladesh team, took charge of the Pakistani bowlers and hit tremendous shots all around.

Sri Krishna devotee
Liton Das considers himself a devotee of Lord Krishna. He also wrote in his bio on Instagram. Teman added 165 runs in the seventh wicket partnership with Mehdi Hasan. Liton scored 138 runs in 228 balls. The batsman hit 13 fours and 4 sixes in his innings. Mehdi Hasan faced 124 balls and scored 78 runs. Bangladesh scored 262 runs in their second innings and Pakistan could only gain a marginal lead of 12 runs in the first innings.

Liton created history
Liton created history in Test cricket by scoring a century. In the 147-year history, a record was created which has not been made yet. Liton became the first batsman in Test history to score 3 centuries at number 5 or below, when the team scored 50 or less. No one has been able to do this in Test history so far. Liton has pulled Bangladesh out of trouble for the third consecutive time. Earlier, he did this in 2021 against Pakistan in Chittagong and in 2022 against Sri Lanka in Mirpur. When he scored a century against Pakistan, the team's score was 49 runs for 4 wickets. Then against Sri Lanka, when 5 Bangladesh batsmen returned to the pavilion within 24 runs, Liton scored a century and pulled the team out of trouble.

Bad start for Pakistan
Pakistan team did not have a good start in the second innings either. By the end of the day's play, they had scored 9 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Pakistan currently has a lead of 21 runs. Abdullah Shafiq was out after scoring 3 runs while Khurram Shahzad could not even open his account. Both were dismissed by Hasan Mahmood. Saim Ayyub is unbeaten after scoring 6 runs.
