In the era of T20 cricket, there are many talks going around about the future of Test cricket. In the past, many predicted the death of the longest format of the game in coming decades, but many cricketers are striving their best to keep the oldest form of the sport alive with their spunky performances. In a recent development, a Bangladesh cricketer smashed a fabulous century against India at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong, and created a feat.

With this record, the youngster also joined the elite list which consists of renowned names such as Sir Alastair Cook, Kane Williamson, Faf du Plessis, Shikhar Dhawan, and Rohit Sharma as these cricketers too scored a ton on their Test debut. As a Bangladesh cricketer, he became the fourth cricketer to hold his nerves to become a centurion in a maiden Test.&nbsp;

4. Zakir Hasan- Chittagong, December 2022

Replacing injured Tamim Iqbal for the home Test series against India, Bangladesh cricketer <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Zakir+Hasan" title="Zakir Hasan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zakir Hasan</a> played his maiden Test match at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong. Grabbing the opportunity with both hands, Iqbal notched up an amazing century and created history. With the incredible innings, he also became the fourth Bangladesh batter to score a hundred on a Test debut.

Pursuing the colossal target of 513 runs against the Men in Blue, the Bangla Tigers delivered a good start as Hasan along with his opening partner Najmul Hasan Shanto stitched a 124-run partnership. As the latter departed on 67 runs, the next two batters Yasir Ali and Litton Das departed early scoring only 5 runs and 19 runs respectively.&nbsp;

However, the youngster Hasan despite going through these scenes held his nerves and took the Bangladesh innings ahead and scored his maiden century too. After scoring his century, he departed as Ravichandran Ashwin got him caught by<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/virat-kohli-knows-when-to-be-aggressive-and-when-to-control-the-game-rahul-dravid/" title="Virat Kohli" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Virat Kohli</a>, who was standing at the first slip.

3. Abul Hasan- Khulna, November 2012

Back in 2012, the debutant Abul Hasan made history as he scored a courageous century in his maiden game against the visitors West Indies. The left-handed batter brought the landmark in Khulna. Winning the toss, the Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim decided to bat first, with Hasan becoming the top-scorer for the hosts with his flamboyant 113 runs off 123 deliveries.

Before his innings, Bangladesh were in trouble as their eight batters departed at a score of 193 runs. But after his arrival at the crease, things changed as he had a crucial stand of 184 runs with Mahmudullah, for the ninth wicket. With 14 fours and three sixes, Hasan racked up a century and helped his team to post a competitive total of 387 in the first innings. Currently, due to his spectacular century, he became the third Bangladesh batter to hit a ton on a debut Test contest.

However, the Caribbean riding on Marlon Samuels’s double century (260 runs) replied with their 648/9. Darren Bravo and veteran <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/shivnarine-chanderpauls-son-tagenarine-chanderpaul-scores-his-first-hundred-for-west-indies-7481/" title="Shivnarine Chanderpaul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shivnarine Chanderpaul</a> also shone in the game with scores of 127 and 150 respectively. In the second innings, the Bangla Tigers failed to bear the pressure as they gave a target of only 27 runs putting up a mere 287 on the board. In the end, Hasan’s knock went into vain as the West Indies thrashed Bangladesh by 10 wickets.&nbsp;

2. Mohammad Ashraful- Colombo, September 2001

In 2001, Bangladesh, who were inexperienced in Tests, toured Sri Lanka for Asian Test Championship. Losing the first game against Pakistan by an innings and 264 runs in Multan, Pakistan, the team travelled to Colombo, Sri Lanka to lock horns with Sanath Jayasuriya-led Sri Lanka side. Invited to bat first after losing the toss, Bangladesh delivered a horrendous performance as the visitors looked clueless in front of Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas.

Another side, Sri Lanka, after delivering a hit show with the ball, became more dominant in the game by amassing 555 runs in the first innings at a loss of five wickets. With no positives happening in the game for Bangladesh, openers Javed Omar and Mehrab Hossain came out to bat in the second innings, and again the Bangla Tigers looked helpless with the score of 81/4.&nbsp;

After the fall of early wickets, the 17-year-old <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Mohammad+Ashraful" title="Mohammad Ashraful" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Ashraful</a> went out and played pure Test innings of 114 runs off 212 balls and became the second Bangladesh batter to score a century on a Test debut. However, the scintillating knock in the pressure game couldn’t avoid Bangladesh’s defeat in the match but earned Ashraful respect and made him a star batter for Bangladesh for the next 12 years.

1. Aminul Islam - Dhaka, November 2000

In November 2000, Bangladesh created history as they hosted India in Dhaka to make their debut in Test cricket. The Bangladesh skipper Naimur Rahman won the toss and decided to bat first in the historic game. Losing three batters Mehrab Hossain (4), Shahriar Hossain (12), and Habibul Bashar (71) on 110 runs, Bangladesh failed to get a decent start.

However, the middle-order batter Aminul Islam led the charge thereafter in the debut match by playing a superhit knock of 145 runs. With his important innings, he not only helped to stabilse Bangladesh to post 400 runs in the first innings but also became the first Bangladesh batter to notch up a century on a Test debut.

Later, in the match, India replied with 429 runs with the crucial contribution of Sunil Joshi’s 92 runs and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Sourav+Ganguly" title="Sourav Ganguly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sourav Ganguly</a>’s 84 runs. In the end, Islam's impactful knock couldn’t do wonders as the team got bowled out for paltry 91 runs in the second innings and got hammered by nine wickets at the hands of the Men in Blue.
