Hridoy stands tall amidst collapse, notches career’s second century

Bangladesh’s middle-order batsman Towhid Hridoy is enjoying a stellar run with the bat. He has carried his brilliant form from the West Indies series into the first Test against South Africa, notching his second career Test century.

When the team faced a batting collapse, losing wickets quickly, Hridoy anchored the innings with patient batting. The 25-year-old batter has now scored two centuries in just four Test matches.

On the first day of the Johannesburg Test, Hridoy confidently handled the South African bowlers, completing his second career century off 195 balls with the help of nine boundaries.
