Mominul Haque Scripts History As Second Bangladeshi To Hit Test Century Against India
Green Park Stadium: Mominul Haque etched his name into the history books on Monday, becoming only the second Bangladeshi batter to score a Test century on Indian soil during the rain-affected second Test at Green Park Stadium. Mominul’s remarkable knock of 102 not off 172 balls held the innings together as Bangladesh reached 205/6 at lunch on Day 4, with time running out for both sides.
The 35-year-old left-hander showcased immense patience and poise, accumulating 16 fours and a six in a masterclass of controlled aggression. He reached his 13th Test century with a sweep off Ravichandran Ashwin, joining Mushfiqur Rahim as the only other Bangladeshi to have scored a century in India.
Resuming on Day 4 after two and a half days were washed out due to rain, Mominul had started the day unbeaten on 67. The early overs were tricky, with India’s pace attack maintaining tight lines, but Mominul remained unflappable. His intention became clear once the spinners were introduced, using the sweep shot to counter Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin with great success.
