India, Feb. 20 -- Towhid Hridoy, on Thursday, scripted a fabulous piece of record as he became the first Bangladesh batter to score a century against India in ICC tournaments. He achieved the feat during Bangladesh's opening Group A game in the 2025 Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Stadium.

Bangladesh have played 41 ODI matches against India, seven of which came in ICC tournaments, comprising the World Cup and Champions Trophy, but never has a batter from the country managed a three-figure score, until February 20 of 2025. Stitching five boundaries and two sixes in his 114-ball knock, Hridoy smashed his maiden international century.
