Mushfiqur makes world record during SL Test

Bangladesh veteran Mushfiqur Rahim scripted a world record by going past a legend like Adam Gilchrist on Day 2 of the first cricket Test against Sri Lanka at Galle International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, reports BSS.

In this Test, he was dismissed after scoring an epic 163, which was his first Test century following a lean patch that saw him went fifty-less for 13 Innings.

During the course of his 163, Mushfiqur Rahim became the wicket-keeper batter with most runs in International cricket.

Australia's wicket-keeper batter Gilchrist made 15,461 runs in three formats

of cricket as only batter. In the Galle Test, Mushfiqur Rahim went past him and he has now 15,513 runs under his belt.

Although most of the time in his career, Mushfiqur played as wicketkeeper-batter, he has been now playing as a specialist batsman in the last few years. But he has never been seen bowling in international cricket.
