Meet Bangladesh's first cricketer to hit Test double ton, Mushfiqur Rahim

Galle (Sri Lanka), Mar 12: Mushfiqur Rahim on Monday become the first Bangladesh cricketer to score a double century in Test matches.  Bangladesh had lost all the 12 Tests that it played in Sri Lanka



Mushfiqur was asked whether a draw will give his side a morale booster.



"Still it's a long way to say that. Tomorrow it's day five. Anything can happen. If we can manage to draw it will be a huge boost for us. As I said, it's our main target to play consistent cricket over the five days in a Test and we can take a lot of positives."

"We didn't do well with the ball in the first innings, but on the second day we came back with the ball – although we didn't get many wickets. I thought that the wicket was very good to bat on. And we were saying that if someone gets set, they must carry on and get a big hundred. That we did, and we're very happy with that."
