Dhaka, Nov. 20 -- Bangladesh's seasoned campaigner Mushfiqur Rahim joined an elite group of batters to have scored a century in their 100th Test match. He became the first-ever Bangladesh player to cross the milestone of playing 100 Test matches.

Rahim scored a valiant 106 off 214 deliveries to help his team to ascendancy in the second Test against Ireland. Rahim joins the likes of Colin Cowdrey, Javed Miandad, Gordon Greenidge, and Graeme Smith in achieving the historic feat, according to the ICC website.

An exception among the 11 batters who have done the aforementioned is ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting, who scored centuries in both innings of his 100th Test match against South Africa in Sydney back in 2006.
