In the twilight of his illustrious career, Tamim Iqbal has etched a new milestone in the annals of Bangladesh cricket. The 35-year-old star opener has become the first Bangladeshi cricketer to amass 8,000 runs in the T20 format.
Captain of Fortune Barishal, Tamim reached this landmark during a match against Rangpur Riders. Before the game commenced, he was just nine runs shy of the historic figure. Eventually, this extraordinary feat was achieved in his 272nd T20 match.
Prior to Tamim’s achievement, no other Bangladeshi batsman had touched the 8,000-run mark in T20 cricket. Shakib Al Hasan, positioned second, has scored 7,438 runs, while Mahmudullah stands third with 6,090 runs.
This accomplishment by Tamim Iqbal is not only a personal triumph but also a glorious chapter in Bangladesh’s cricket history. The 8,000-run milestone in T20 cricket belongs solely to him, underscoring his unparalleled contribution to the sport in the country.
