Suryaa Sports Desk: Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud has achieved a historic milestone in international cricket by becoming the first Bangladeshi pacer to take a hat-trick in a Test match. He dismissed three consecutive batters to reach this record.
Previously, only spin bowlers from Bangladesh had achieved a hat-trick in the Test format. In addition to the hat-trick, Hasan Mahmud secured a five-wicket haul in the match and became the fastest Bangladeshi pacer to reach 50 Test wickets. His bowling performance contributed to the collapse of the opposing team's batting lineup.
Hasan Mahmud attributed his performance to his discipline and training, noting the importance of adapting his speed and swing to pitch conditions. He also acknowledged the support of his teammates and captain. Former cricketers and sports analysts have praised the young bowler for his contribution to the Bangladesh pace attack.
