In the first innings, he was able to score only 8 runs and scored only 19 runs in the second innings, but a special shot brought him to the list of Bangladesh cricket veterans.
Bangladesh Test captain Najmul Hussain Shanto surprised everyone by scoring a century in both innings in the first Test against Sri Lanka. However, he could not score much runs in the second Test being played in Colombo. In the first innings, he was able to score only 8 runs and in the second innings also he was able to score only 19 runs. But in the second innings, his 19 -run small innings also created history.
In this innings, Shanto hit a four and a six. But this was a six special, because with this he completed his 29 sixes in Test cricket. Along with this, Shanto surpassed Shakib Al Hasan (28 sixes), who was still ahead of him in this list.
Shantio has now become the fourth player to hit the most sixes in Tests for Bangladesh. Tamim Iqbal (41) is at the top of this list, then Mushfiqur Rahim (37) and third are Mohammad Rafiq (34), who are more recognized as a bowler.
Shanto achieved this place in only 37 Tests, while Shakib has played 71 Tests.
