Shakib Al Hasan: Mushfiqur Rahim achieved a historic feat in the ongoing first Test against India at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Saturday as he surpassed Tamim Iqbal's run tally to become Bangladesh's all-time highest run-getter in international cricket.
Rahim, who played a knock of 13 before Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed him in the final session of Day Three, has accumulated 15,205 runs including 20 centuries and 82 fifties in 464 matches across formats. Previously, former captain Tamim Iqbal held the record of most run-getter for Bangladesh with 15,192 runs in 387 games including 25 hundreds and 94 half-centuries.
Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is third on the list with a tally of 14,701 runs in 446 matches with 14 centuries and 100 fifties. He is currently not out on six and will resume his innings along with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (51*) on Sunday as they chase a monumental target of 515 to win the match.
