Towhid Hridoy rewrite history vs India First ODI hundred at Dubai 100 off 118 balls

Towhid Hridoy’s Maiden ODI Century Steadies Bangladesh Ship

Bangladesh batsman Towhid Hridoy announced his arrival on the international stage with a captivating maiden ODI century against India. Facing a daunting challenge against a quality Indian bowling attack, Hridoy crafted a composed and crucial innings of 100 runs at Dubai on February 20th. His century, compiled over 118 deliveries, showcased a fine balance between watchful defense and measured aggression, punctuated by six boundaries and two towering sixes.

Hridoy’s innings was a textbook example of resilience under pressure. Walking out to bat with Bangladesh teetering at a precarious 35 for five, their innings on the verge of collapse, he displayed remarkable composure. He then combined with Mehidy Hasan Miraz in a stunning 154-run partnership for the sixth wicket. This record-breaking stand not only rescued Bangladesh from the depths of despair but also propelled them towards a respectable total of 228. Hridoy’s century, a blend of grit and elegant strokeplay, represents a significant milestone in his nascent ODI career.
