DHAKA, Aug 24, 2024 (BSS)-Bangladesh dependable batter Mushfiqur Rahim missed 
out his well-deserved double century against Pakistan after being out on 191.

Mushfiqur was beaten by the extra bounce of pacer Mohammad Ali, after playing 
341 balls in his innings, which studded with 22 fours and one six.

Even though, he missed out his fourth double century by nine runs, he helped 
Bangladesh earn a lead against Pakistan on Day 4 game of the two-match series 
opening Test at Rawalpindi today.

He also broke a number of records on the way to his 191. He hammered 687 
fours in Test cricket, which is now highest by a Bangladeshi batter, going 
past Tamim Iqbal.

He also completed his 11th Test century, and his first against Pakistan. His 
century tally is now second to Mominul Haque who has 12. Tamim Iqbal is in 
the third position with 10 centuries.

On the way to his epic knock, Mushfiqur completed 15000 runs in International 
cricket as only the second Bangladeshi batter. Tamim Iqbal with 15249 runs 
still is in the top spot, but Mushfiqur is expected to go past his record as 
he has now 15159 runs under his belt.

After making 52-run with opener Shadman Islam for the fourth wicket stand, 
Mushfiqur shared two big partnerships with Liton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz 
to help the side earn the lead.

He combined for 114-run with Liton Das who made 56, for the sixth wicket 
before adding 196-run with Miraz for the seventh wicket.
