Montu dutta

Litton Kumar Das: Bangladesh batsman Litton Kumar Das, who scored a century on the second day of the second Test against Ireland in Mirpur near Dhaka on Thursday, is reaping the benefit of changing his batting position, believes childhood mentor Montu Dutta.

Litton Das (128), along with Mushfiqur Rahim, playing his 100th Test, scored a hundred and propelled Bangladesh to a strong position on the second day of the Mirpur Test, before the hosts’ spinners reduced Ireland to 98 for 5 in reply to the home side’s 476.

Litton, who has been guided by Montu since his childhood days in BKSP- the lone sports institute of the country where he studied, failed to meet his expectations since last year in the longer format of the game.
