Cricket World's Player of the Week - Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh

Mushfiqur Rahim delivered a remarkable 191 on the fourth day of the first Test in Rawalpindi, positioning Bangladesh for a potential historic victory over Pakistan.

The day belonged to Mushfiqur, who added 114 with Das (56) for the sixth wicket and then a record 194 for the seventh wicket with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who made a solid 77.

Bangladesh's previous Test best against Pakistan was the 555-6 they made at Khulna in 2015.

Mehidy praised Mushfiqur's knock.

"Mushfiqur played a great knock," said Miraz, hoping Bangladesh can win. "Definitely the first hour tomorrow will be important and if we get early wickets we have a good chance."

Mushfiqur's knock of eight hours and 42 minutes, which contained 22 boundaries and a six, finally ended when he edged pacer Mohammad Ali to wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan.

He overtook the previous highest individual score by a Bangladesh batter in Pakistan of 119 by Javed Omar, scored in Peshawar in 2003.

Mushfiqur was lucky to get a life on 150 when Babar Azam dropped him off Salman Agha at leg slip.

Pakistan also thought they had Mushfiqur leg-before by Ali on 59 but umpire Richard Kettleborough's original verdict was overturned on review when the replay showed the ball missing leg stump.

Mushfiqur then hit two boundaries off both Shahzad and Saim Ayub before reaching his century, his 11th in 89 Tests.
