Veteran Indian batter Dinesh Karthik lauded Bangladesh cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim after the latter became the first player from his country to score 5000 Test runs.
As the first batter from his country to attain 5000 Test runs, Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim received high accolades from Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik. When asked about the milestone that Karthik described as “phenomenal,” he stated in response to a video uploaded on the official website of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Mushfiqur performed a brave 105-run innings in the heat, facing 282 deliveries.
“Every time someone is a flag bearer, torchbearer, or performing something for the first time, they are held in high regard and respect, and Mushfiqur Rahim is no exception… Many young people in that region aspire to be like him and admire his talent as a player “As Karthik added,
Karthik, a former wicketkeeper, opened out about the struggles that come with handling the obligations of being a wicketkeeper.
For 17 years, “particularly as a wicketkeeper-batter,” Karthik added, “your body takes a big toll.” “He must know his body really well if he intends to play at the international level for such an extended period of time.”
Even if the Bangladesh heat factor made this Rahim strike a special one, Karthik stated that it would be at the top of his personal list.
Karthik remarked, “Bangladesh heat is something else.” “While the sun is harsh in Bangladesh, playing Test cricket on a hot day when you don’t get any wickets can be quite a challenge. Because I’ve been through it, I can tell him exactly what it’s like to go through it “Karthik brought this up.
Karthik also revealed his side of the tale and how he dealt with the Bangladesh heat during the 2007 trip, which he described in detail in his book.
“At one point during our 2007 match, I had cramps all over my body, and I was on the verge of being admitted to the hospital from the exhaustion. Mushfiqur has done a fantastic job, and wicketkeepers do a lot of hard work, so he deserves all the praise “he came to a conclusion.
