Rajkot: Stand-in Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah Riyad is on the brink of becoming the first Bangladesh cricketer to have smashed 50 maximums in the T-20 international cricket. The right-hand batsman is just two sixes away from the milestone.
He will be aiming this record when his side takes on hosts India in the second match of the three-match rubber at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Thursday.
Bangladesh stunned the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue by seven wickets in the first T20I in Delhi and will now be aiming to take an unassailable lead in the series.
Apart from him, Tamim Iqbal has 41 sixes to his name in T20I cricket while banned Shakib Al Hasan has 33. Mushfiqur Rahim has hit 31 sixes.
Last Sunday, Bangladesh beat India by seven wickets in the series opener, chasing down a modest target of 149 with ease. It was their first victory over India in the shortest format.
