Divya Delhi : On the first day of the series opener at Galle International Stadium, Bangladeshi star Mushfiqur Rahim scored his 12th century in Test cricket against Sri Lanka. On the opening day of 2021-22, the seasoned campaigner hit 105* after facing just 186 balls by stumps, and shortly after lunch, he transformed his innings into a knock of 150+ runs. Notably, Mushfiqur exceeded even renowned World Cup champions Adam Gilchrist and lightning-fast South African stump Mike Quinton de Kock during his recent batting clinic, setting yet another historically exceptional standard in international cricket. Despite having no desire to be a bowler, Mushfiqur Rahim is currently ranked top on another exclusive list of players with the highest runs across all game formats. The legend of Bangladesh accomplished this by smashing his 12th Test century, which he accomplished at the Galle grounds in mid-June against Sri Lanka. Mushfiqur overtook Adam Gilchrist, a former Australian wicketkeeper-batter and three-time World Cup champion, with a total of 15,509 runs without a single delivery. Among international cricket players who are not balls, these three have the most runs. Another Bangladeshi, Mushfiqur Rahim, has amassed 6214 of those runs in 178 Test matches since making his debut in 2005. The cricketer has stolen 12 tons and 27 half-centuries in the process. Along with scoring 1,500 runs in 93 T20I innings and 7,795 runs in 274 ODI matches against Bangladesh, the 38-year-old has amassed 15,509 runs in 527 innings at an average of 34.23.
