Mushfiqur Rahim continues to make history. The experienced Bangladeshi cricketer scored his 13th Test century on Thursday in the ongoing second Test against Ireland at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. With this, Rahim became only the 11th Test player in history to score a century in his 100th international match.

Players to score a century in their 100th Test:

Ponting is the only player to score a century in each innings of his 100th Test.

Colin Cowdrey of England was the first to mark his 100th Test with a century in 1968 against Australia. Javed Miandad became the first Asian to do it in 1989, while Ricky Ponting scored twin centuries in his 100th Test in 2006.

Rahim’s Felicitation

Before the start of the second Test in Dhaka, Rahim was honoured for his achievement. He received two jerseys – one signed by his teammates from his debut Test and another by the current Test squad. 

However, Mushfiqur could not go much further after his century. He was caught by Balbirnie off the first ball of Humphries in the 99th over. Mushfiqur played an innings of 106 runs off 214 balls with 5 fours. When he returned to the dressing room, the gallery at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium erupted in applause.
