The veteran wicketkeeper-batter has added another golden chapter to his already remarkable journey as he has become the first cricketer from Bangladesh to complete 7000 runs in Test cricket.
Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to complete 7000 runs in Test cricket. The historic moment came on Monday when Mushfiqur reached the landmark by scoring a single off Roston Chase shortly after lunch during the ongoing second Test in Sylhet.
The 38-year-old wicketkeeper-batter was also the first Bangladeshi batter to score 5000 and 6000 Test runs, having reached those milestones in 2022 and 2024, respectively.
Most runs for Bangladesh in Tests
Mushfiqur Rahim: 197 innings, 7,000 runs
Tamim Iqbal: 134 innings, 5,134 runs
Litton Das: 102 innings, 3,557 runs
Mahmudullah: 94 innings, 2,914 runs
Mohammad Ashraful: 119 innings, 2,737 runs
Rahim has also scored 14 Test centuries and 30 half-centuries in his career. Mominul follows him with 13 centuries, while Tamim has scored 10 centuries in the format.
His career has been full of memorable performances, including his unbeaten 219 against Zimbabwe in 2018. It remained Bangladesh's highest individual Test score for several years before Towhid Hridoy smashed an unbeaten 242 in the first innings of the ongoing Sylhet Test.
