Have been through some bad times. Especially in the T20 format, he was not even close to the way he should bat. So he has been criticized a lot. Finally he had to retire from international T20. But that Mushfiqur Rahim turned around by playing an innings of 70 runs against England. And he blew up with the bat on Monday. Recorded the fastest century for Bangladesh in ODIs. He scored his ninth career century in just 60 balls against Ireland at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

He completed this century with 1 run in the last ball of the innings. As a result, Mushfiqur broke the record of fastest ODI century of 63 balls made by Shakib Al Hasan in Bulawayo in August 2009 against Zimbabwe. Now he has also touched Shakib’s record of 9 centuries. And through this, he became the third Bangladeshi to cross 7 thousand runs. In the previous match against the Irish, Shakib became the second Bangladeshi to score 7,000 runs.
The Bangladesh team’s ODI record in Sylhet, known as the holy ground, is quite excellent. The ability of the Tigers increases several times just by coming down to play here. Therefore, Bangladesh set the record for the highest team collection against the Irish in the first ODI of the series. After losing the toss, the Tigers went into bat again on Monday. The Ireland team wanted to take advantage of some moisture on the field due to the rain in the morning. Using that opportunity, they were able to put pressure on the Bangladeshi batters in the early stages.

But later the Bangladesh team reached a great position with the devastating batting of Liton Kumar Das and Nazmul Hossain Shantar. The speed of the run also increases. In the 26th over, Litton returned to the dressing room with 70 runs off 71 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes. And in the second ball of the 34th over, Mushfiqur came to the crease when he got out for 73 runs with 3 fours and 2 sixes. Mushfiqur, who gave a dynamic innings of 44 runs off 26 balls in the previous match, started the day with a bit of a look. Tawhid Hriday, who came down to play the second ODI of his career, batted brilliantly on this day as well.

He was joined shortly after his cricket career ‘Idol’ Mushfiq. The two had put together an explosive partnership of 80 runs off 49 balls for the fifth wicket in the previous match. This time, the two continued to bat in a fluent rhythm. Lytton-Santor stood on the foundation and played independently on the opponent bowlers. Mushfiqur quickly became destructive. At the other end, Tawheed enjoyed his ideal batsman. Mushfiqur got his half century in just 33 balls. Tawheed-Mushfique put on a partnership of 128 runs off just 78 balls for the fifth wicket. In this, Bangladesh moved towards another huge collection.
Mushfiqur reached a new milestone after reaching 55 runs after fifty. In the last match against the Irish, Shakib became the second Bangladeshi to complete 7000 ODI runs. This time, Mushfiq also became his partner. Tamim became the first Bangladeshi to cross 8000 by scoring 7000 ODI runs. However, the fastest among these 3 people is Tamim’s 7 thousand. He completed 7000 ODI runs in 204 innings, Shakib in 216 innings and Mushfiq was the slowest in 229 innings. But in recent times there is a lot of discussion about the senior cricketers of the Bangladesh team. There is already no senior cricketer except Shakib in the T20 format.

Mahmudullah Riyad has been dropped from the ODI squad after the T20 squad. The next discussion was about Mushfiq. However, Mushfiqur, one of the mainstays of the middle order, has started to know his own race in time. After Hriday returned to the dressing room for 49 runs, Mushfiqur continued to spin the baton on the Irish bowlers alone. Continued towards the century.
He got his ninth career century with singles off the last ball of the innings by Graham Hume. Tamim has the most 14 ODI centuries for Bangladesh. Shakib-Mushfiqur now has the second most centuries with 9. Mushfiqur remained unbeaten on 100 runs in 60 balls with 14 fours and 2 sixes.

Earlier, Bangladesh’s fastest ODI century was Shakib’s 63-ball against Zimbabwe in 2009. Mushfiqur is the fastest now. Mushfiqur’s last century was on May 25, 2021. Scored 125 runs against Sri Lanka in Mirpur. After batting 16 innings, he got only 3 fifties. Finally, Mushfiqur got his century. Batting at number 6, this is his first and fifth century for Bangladesh.
