Zakir becomes the fourth Bangladeshi batsman to score a Test century on debut. Aminul Islam, Mohammad Ashraful and Abul Hasan are the other three Bangladeshi batsmen who scored a century on Test format.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old received a surprise from Rahul Dravid, the head coach of India and a legendary batsman, who did so just as the debutant was about to address the press conference and congratulated him for his heroic effort in the opening Test.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir (Rahul) greeted me. He said I batted well. It is inspirational for such a great player and coach coming to congratulate me. It is a great feeling,\u201d said Zakir. \u201cI feel good scoring a hundred. I didn\u2019t have much expectations and all I wanted was to bat long since we are facing two days and a big total.<\/p>\n<p>On the final day of the first Test match against India, Bangladesh needs 241 runs to win. However, given that they have lost six wickets, it seems difficult.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Stumps on Day 4\u20e3 of the first <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BANvIND?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BANvIND<\/a> Test!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TeamIndia?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TeamIndia<\/a> need four more wickets on the final day\ud83d\udc4c\ud83d\udc4c<\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh 272-6 at the end of day's play.<\/p>\n<p>Scorecard \u25b6\ufe0f  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GUHODOYOh9\">https:\/\/t.co\/GUHODOYOh9<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wePAqvR70y\">pic.twitter.com\/wePAqvR70y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BCCI (@BCCI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BCCI\/status\/1604064858462617600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Playing XI for Bangladesh \u2013 Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain<\/p>\n<p>Playing XI for India \u2013 Shubman Gill, KL Rahul (c), Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the ongoing Test match between India and Bangladesh, debutant and opening batsman of hosts Zakir Hasan managed to score\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":27959,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1033,216,3451],"class_list":["post-4968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-rahul-dravid","tag-test","tag-zakir-hasan"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
