Mushfiqur Rahim Breaks Records in Cricket
Mushfiqur Rahim, a cricket player, made a new record.
He scored more runs than anyone else in international cricket who has never bowled the ball.
This means he's really good at hitting the ball with a bat!
His dad said that he only wanted to focus on batting and catching.
This achievement is special because it's rare to see someone excel in cricket without doing both hitting and bowling.
Mushfiqur Rahim became the highest run-scorer among players who have never bowled in international cricket.
He surpassed Adam Gilchrist's record of 15,461 runs.
Rahim's father stated he was never interested in bowling, focusing on wicketkeeping and batting.
No other Bangladeshi batter has crossed 3,500 international runs without bowling.
His wife and children were in Dhaka while he was playing.
