Without a run in the bat, a batsman can become part of the cricketing history, and if there is a greater proof than Tamim Iqbal? Think again about the Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka. When he is on the field with a broken hand, then Bangladesh's team runs 229. There is a wicket in hand. Bandaged in one hand, four fingers are out of gloves. Bat in the other hand. Tamim stood in the crease, ignoring doctor's advice?
That's why the answer is in the field. Just one in the one hand with the bat in one hand. But the group's collections reached from 229 to 261, only because of this 'audacious' campaign. Mushfiqur Rahim has scored the runs. But Tamim did not come with the broken hand that day, the innings would have stopped even further. It can not be said today that the team has won 32 runs. Because Bangladesh has lost Sri Lanka on that day in bigger spheres. But the score card does not always tell the story of actual war. If Sri Lanka could have tied 229 runs to Bangladesh, then what would have been possible to get them out of the game?
Tamim, who did not go as a 'if', but came to the field like a hero, has given his name in the pages of history.
Before that, only two cricketer handled the broken hands and bat in the other hand. England's Graeme Smith and West Indies's Malcolm Marshall
In fact, the story of Tamim Iqbal's cricket career is the story of courage and heroism. We were just looking at Jayasuriya or Sachin-Sehwag in the power-packed time of 15 overs that got to be open, and we can only see what kind of power that can become. Tamim came and showed us we too. Imran, Liton or Soumya coming in the openings today, the courage that they are going to attack the bowlers from the beginning, in front of them, who aggressively look fierce?
