Bangladesh’s Towhid Hridoy reached an unbeaten 200 against West Indies in the second Test at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. His double century came on November 7, 2026, and made him the fourth Bangladeshi batter to reach that mark in Test cricket.
Hridoy turned his maiden Test century into a double century while playing his third Test. He reached 200 after facing 304 balls, with 19 fours and seven sixes in the innings.
The performance also changed Bangladesh’s individual Test record. Hridoy went beyond Mushfiqur Rahim’s previous best of 219 not out, giving Bangladesh a new highest individual score in the format.
Bangladesh reached 340 for eight while still behind West Indies’ first-innings total of 356. Hridoy’s unbeaten score therefore formed part of Bangladesh’s effort to close the gap in the second Test. His innings combined the national record, a place in Bangladesh’s group of double-century makers and the conversion of his first Test hundred into a score of 200 or more.
