Hridoy's record book in the Sylhet Test

Towhid Hridoy's unbeaten 242 against West Indies brought him several personal milestones and rewrote a number of records in Bangladesh's Test history.
*     Bangladesh's highest Test score: With 242 not out, Hridoy now holds the record for the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi in Test cricket. Mushfiqur Rahim's 219 against Zimbabwe in Mirpur in 2018 was the previous best.
*     Fourth Bangladeshi double-centurion: Hridoy became the fourth Bangladeshi to score a Test double century, after Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal.
*     Double century in maiden hundred: He became the first Bangladeshi batter to convert his maiden Test century into a double century.
*     11 sixes in an innings: Hridoy struck 11 sixes, jointly the second-highest tally in a Test innings. Six batters had previously achieved the feat. Wasim Akram and Yashasvi Jaiswal hold the record with 12 sixes each. The previous highest by a Bangladeshi was Tamim Iqbal's seven.
*     Most runs in boundaries: Hridoy scored 154 runs through boundaries, with 22 fours and 11 sixes. It is the highest boundary-run tally by a Bangladeshi in a Test innings. Shakib Al Hasan held the previous record, scoring 124 runs through 31 fours during his 217 against New Zealand in 2017.
*     Highest individual contribution to a team innings: Hridoy contributed 242 of Bangladesh's 386 runs, accounting for 62.69% of the total. It is the highest proportion contributed by a Bangladeshi batter in a Test innings. Litton Das held the previous record after scoring 25 of Bangladesh's 43 runs against West Indies in 2018.
*     Highest score by a Bangladeshi in Sylhet: Hridoy now holds the record for the highest individual Test score by a Bangladeshi at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Mahmudul Hasan Joy's 171 against Ireland in 2025 was the previous best.
*     Most runs from the last three wickets: After Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket at 184, the final three wickets added another 202 runs. It is the highest contribution from the last three wickets in Bangladesh's Test history, surpassing the previous record of 198 against Zimbabwe in 2021. With Shadman Islam unable to bat because of injury, the final two partnerships were particularly significant.
*     Highest Test score against West Indies: Hridoy's 242 is now the highest individual Test score by a Bangladeshi against the Caribbean side. Mahmudullah's 138 in Mirpur in 2018 was the previous record.
*     Most runs in a single day: Resuming the third day on 29, Hridoy added 213 runs to his overnight score. It is the highest number of runs scored by a Bangladeshi batter in a single day of Test cricket, surpassing Shakib Al Hasan's 212 against New Zealand in 2017, during his innings of 217.
