Litton Das achieves major milestone in T20I cricket

LAHORE: Bangladesh captain Litton Das reached a significant milestone in T20 International cricket during the second T20I against Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium on Friday.

Das became only the fourth Bangladeshi cricketer to feature in 100 T20I matches, joining the elite company of Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim. Among them, veteran all-rounder Mahmudullah holds the record for the most T20I appearances for Bangladesh, with 141 matches.

Most appearances for Bangladesh players in T20I cricket: Mahmadullah Riyad 141 matches; Shakib Al Hasan 129 matches; Mushfiqur Rahim 102 matches; Litton Das 100* matches. In addition to this achievement, Litton Das also continues to shine with the bat. The right-handed wicketkeeper-batter is currently Bangladesh’s third-highest run-scorer in T20Is, having amassed 2,133 runs.

He trails Mahmudullah by 311 runs and Shakib by 418 runs on the list of Bangladesh’s all-time leading T20I run-scorers. The ongoing series marks Das’ second assignment as Bangladesh’s T20I captain. His first stint came during the recently concluded three-match series against the UAE, which Bangladesh lost 2-1.
