Swashbuckling opener Tamim Iqbal is on the verge of toppling Habibul Bashar Sumon as the highest run getter for Bangladesh in Test cricket. He is seven away from Habibul Bashar’s tally of 3026 runs. He also remains the highest run scorer in Bangladesh’s ODI format. Shakib Al Hasan however leads the chart in Twenty20 .
Tamim scored 151 in Bangladesh’s last Test against India in 2010, that was his best score until he smashed 206 in the first Test against Pakistan this year. Those 151 runs that helped Bangladesh avoiding the innings defeat was significant in a sense that he got a duck in the first innings.
Tamim basically established him as the Bangladesh’s batting linchpin after that 151 which came off just 183 balls with the help of 18 fours and three sixes. He later kept up his form hitting two more centuries in England.
Later he went through a prolonged poor form before rediscovering his prime from in this year.
