Litton becomes first B'deshi to score 2,000 WTC runs

Litton Das became the first Bangladeshi batter to complete 2,000 runs in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), despite failing to play a big innings in the ongoing first Test at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the city on Saturday, reports BSS.
The wicketkeeper-batter reached the milestone during his 33-run knock in Bangladesh's first innings of the Test.
Veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim stands second among Bangladeshi batters in the WTC run-scoring charts with 1,876 runs. Mushfiqur contributed 71 runs in the first innings of the Mirpur Test.
However, Mushfiqur enjoys a better batting average than Litton in the championship. Litton averages 37.20, while Mushfiqur has maintained an average of 43.62.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, with 1,650 runs, is third on the list, followed by Mominul Haque (1,594 runs) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1,324 runs).
