List of Players to Score a Century in Their 100th Test ft. Mushfiqur Rahim Joining the Club
Bangladesh doesn’t get many happy days in cricket, so when one comes, it should be remembered well. Mushfiqur Rahim played his 100th Test in Mirpur with the usual pressure on him as Bangladesh’s key batsman. By the end of the day, he scored a wonderful innings that he will remember for the rest of his life.
Mushfiqur Rahim has saved Bangladesh many times, so this felt normal, but scoring a century in your 100th Test is never simple. When he came in, Bangladesh were already in trouble at 95 for 3. As always, he had to handle the pressure.
He first batted with Mominul Haque, and they added 107 runs in a slow, steady way. After Mominul got out, Litton Das came in, and together they made another 108 runs. Rahim did not play any big or risky shots. He just stayed calm and kept batting.
He reached 106 runs from 214 balls and joined the small group of players who have scored a century in their 100th Test. He ended Day 1 on 99*, and the next day he completed his hundred easily. Before Rahim, only ten players had scored a hundred in their 100th Test. Big players are on that list, and Ricky Ponting even scored two in the same match.
