Coming in at a time when Bangladesh needed consolidation, Mehidy held firm and stitched a crucial knock under the hot Chattogram sun. Mehidy’s century – the second of his Test career – came in the 125th over when he guided the ball to the right of short fine leg and scampered for a single that etched his name into the day’s headlines.

Upon reaching the milestone, Mehidy celebrated in style – a raised bat, a kiss to the willow, and a Sajda (prostration) of gratitude – all met with a rousing reception from teammates and fans alike.

Bangladesh, resuming on a strong foundation built by Shadman Islam’s earlier century, pushed on to dominate the Zimbabwean bowlers. Eventually, the hosts posted an impressive 444, before getting all-out and establishing a formidable lead of 217 runs.

Shadman’s knock had laid the bricks, but it was Mehidy’s composed and calculated innings that solidified Bangladesh’s advantage, turning the contest heavily in their favour.

As Mehidy reached three figures, social media lit up with praise from fans across the country. Cricket enthusiasts flooded social media platforms with congratulatory messages, memes, and highlights celebrating the all-rounder’s effort.
