Tanzid Hasan appeared to be tired with going out for
16 as he rushed out to strike Mohammed Siraj over the covers. It had twice
occurred in the early stages of his international career and was his finest ODI
performance to date. He reached 19 thanks to the carve-over cover.
The altercation between Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al
Hasan left Tanzid in the line of fire. Aside from being the left-handed opening
batter who took Tamim Iqbal’s place in the World Cup roster, he had nothing to
do with it. He also goes by the name Tamim, but we’ll get to that in a moment.
Tanzid scored 40 runs off just 28 balls in Pune’s
match against India thanks to a barrage of fours and sixes off Siraj and
Shardul Thakur. Next, he reached fifty off 41 balls. Tanzid used a whip, a
hook, and a blast over the covers to drive five fours in addition to his three
sixes. Tanzid’s outstanding ODI innings was ended by Kuldeep Yadav, but not
before the young player kept a large audience silent for an hour and fifteen
minutes.
After Tanzid assisted Bangladesh in winning the
Under-19 World Cup in 2020, he arrived with a solid reputation. He scored three
fifties in four innings during the Emerging Cup in Sri Lanka in July of this
year. He battled through the home ODI matches against New Zealand and the first
three World Cup games after getting a duck on his ODI debut in the Asia Cup.
In the previous 12 days, Tanzid or the “opening
pair” were the subject of at least three questions at every press
conference in Bangladesh. The team’s leadership stood by him. Nobody truly
considered how Tanzid must have felt throughout the previous four weeks.
In Pune, Tanzid defeated India by 51 points. Tamim
earned 51 points in a 2007 match against India in Port of Spain. One of
Bangladesh’s most illustrious triumphs was planned in 2007 and is still
remembered today. Of course, on Thursday, that wasn’t the case.
When Tamim ignited India all those years ago, the
world waxed poetic about him. Tanzid may not receive much attention, but his 51
will provide him with a tremendous amount of confidence and provide him with a
way out of the problem he unintentionally got himself into.
