“Get Acquainted with Towhid Hridoy: Bangladesh’s Emerging Batting Star”

Towhid Hridoy, the rising star of Bangladesh cricket, has been making headlines with his remarkable performances. In a recent Super Four clash against Sri Lanka, he displayed his prowess by scoring a brilliant 82 runs. Let's delve into the details of this young batting sensation's journey.

Cricket News

A Rising Talent

Towhid Hridoy made his international debut for Bangladesh earlier this year, representing his country in both ODIs and T20Is. Born on December 4, 2000, in Bogra District, Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh, the 22-year-old Hridoy has been a standout talent since his early days.

Youth World Cup Success

Hridoy was part of the Bangladesh U19 squad that participated in the Youth World Cup in 2018, held in New Zealand. He later played a crucial role as the vice-captain of the Bangladesh U19 team that clinched victory in the U19 World Cup in 2020, defeating India U19 in a thrilling tournament.

T20 Experience

In addition to his international commitments, Hridoy has showcased his skills in domestic T20 cricket. He has represented teams like Fortune Barishal and Sylhet Strikers in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 tournament. Hridoy also joined the Jaffna Kings in the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2023.

ODI Debut Heroics

Hridoy’s ODI debut against Ireland in Sylhet on March 18 was nothing short of spectacular. He hammered 92 runs off 85 balls, featuring 8 fours and 2 sixes, contributing significantly to Bangladesh’s total of 338/8 in 50 overs. Bangladesh secured a convincing victory, with Ireland bundled out for 155 runs, thanks in part to Hridoy’s outstanding debut. His 92 runs on debut stand as the highest individual score for a Bangladesh batter on an ODI debut.

Impressive International Stats

In the 13 ODIs he has played thus far, Towhid Hridoy has amassed 442 runs, including four fifties, at an impressive average of 40.18. His T20I record shows 156 runs, with a best score of 47* in 8 matches. In the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, Hridoy has posted scores of 0, 2, and a standout 82 runs in three encounters.

Challenges in Asia Cup 2023

Bangladesh’s journey in the Asia Cup 2023 has been challenging. They faced back-to-back losses in the Super 4s stage, first to Pakistan and then to Sri Lanka. Against Pakistan, they were dismissed for 193 runs, and Pakistan chased the target with ease. In the clash against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh batted first, posting 257/9, but could not secure a win, losing by 21 runs. With zero points on the board, Bangladesh faces India in their next match, aiming to salvage their campaign in Colombo on September 15.
