The Story in Brief
Tanzid Hasan became the first Bangladeshi to score a Test century in Australia, powering the visitors to 351-6 at stumps on Day 2 of the first Test in Darwin. NDTV Sports reports that Bangladesh dominated the second day's play after winning the toss, with Tanzid's landmark innings anchoring the innings.
The 24-year-old opener reached three figures in the second session, surpassing the previous best by a Bangladeshi batter in Australia. Bangladesh, often criticised for poor overseas performances, are now well placed to post a formidable first-innings total.
The Indian Opinion
The temptation is to call this a one-off against a weakened Australian attack, but Bangladesh's 351-6 in Darwin shows real batting depth. Tanzid's feat answers critics who said they could not perform on bouncy tracks. The real test comes when Australia bat. If Bangladesh can take early wickets, this becomes a series statement. Otherwise, the old narrative returns. Watch the first hour on Day 3.
