Rishad Hossain <\/strong><\/a>had a standout performance in Bangladesh\u2019s recent T20 match against Sri Lanka<\/strong>. Not only did he impress with his skills, but he also proved his worth as a valuable asset to the team. Bowling wise, he took down Kamindu Mendis and Angelo Mathews, making crucial breakthroughs. But it was with the bat that he truly shone. When Bangladesh found themselves in trouble at 32-6, Rishad stepped up and scored an impressive 53 runs off just 30 balls, marking his first international fifty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During his innings, he smashed seven sixes, three of which came in a single over against Maheesh Theekshana<\/a><\/strong>. This not only set a new record for the most sixes by a Bangladeshi player in an innings but also marked the most sixes ever hit by a player batting at eight or lower in a T20I between Test-playing nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Rishad Hossain has showcased glimpses of his six-hitting prowess before, this match solidified his position in the team for the foreseeable future. Bangladesh has long been in need of a quality leg-spinner, and Rishad\u2019s inclusion aimed to address that gap, despite some doubts about his bowling abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
