Tamim Bangladesh\\\'s top Test run scorer

Tamim Iqbal, 26, became Bangladesh's highest Test run-scorer after scoring 7 runs on the 4th morning against India in Narayanganj on Saturday. The left-handed opener surpassed Habibul Bashar’s 3,026 runs, 8 years after the latter retired from Test cricket. In the third over of Bangladesh’s first innings, Tamim glanced Indian pacer Ishant Sharma towards fine-leg for a couple of runs to reach the milestone. He later got out at 19. Tamim did not celebrate and the giant screen at Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium was not working so very few spectators knew what had happened. However, Bashar had arrived early in the stadium to witness his own record being broken. "I came to the ground early today hoping to see Tamim cross my record," Bashar was quoted as saying by espncricinfo. "I told him before the Test match that I wanted to see him do it in this game. I didn't want to wait for too long. Bashar also hopes Tamim would eventually get to 10,000 runs in Test matches, according to bdnews24.com.
