Bangladesh batter Towhid Hridoy made history on Saturday with an unbeaten 242 runs in a Test match against the West Indies, establishing a new all-time record for the highest individual score by a Bangladesh player in Test cricket. The innings, compiled on November 7, 2026, surpassed the previous national benchmark and marked a landmark moment for Bangladesh cricket.
Hridoy's marathon knock came in a Test encounter where he remained not out at the close of his innings. The 242* stands as the highest score ever recorded by a Bangladesh batter in the longest format, eclipsing the previous record held by a fellow countryman. The achievement highlights the continued development of Bangladesh's batting depth in Test cricket.
