After receiving the award, Tawheed Hriday met the request of the broadcasting channel for an interview. Tawheed is now hotcake after scoring his first century in BPL. Now it’s time to come to the press conference. Tawheed couldn’t even manage to walk towards Sher-e-Bangla’s press conference room. The spectators waiting in the grandstand burst into tears of ‘Hridoy-Hridoy’. This time he met the needs of the audience, took a selfie, shook hands.
Rob doesn’t run all around in BPL. Apart from this, there was a lot of criticism about the run drought of the domestic cricketers. In between, Comilla Victorians’ Tawheed won hearts with his maiden century in a rain of four-sixes. Man of the match won the match alone against the great Dhaka.
Dhaka won the toss and went into bat to score 175 runs. Chasing the target, Comilla lost 3 wickets for 23 runs. Tawheed stood at one end as a shield. He finally left the field winning the team by 4 wickets after falling to three. By then his name was shining with an unbeaten 108 runs. First century in a recognized T20I. Earlier his highest run was an unbeaten 85. Which he got for Sylhet Strikers in the last BPL.
This young batsman scored a century in 53 balls with 8 fours and 6 sixes. After the century, he flicked Taskin into the gallery with an eye-catching shot. There were 7 sixes in the match winning innings. Four is one more.
The press conference therefore became very interested, in unraveling the mystery of his sixes. Tawheed said here, ‘I think it is not difficult to kill six. Each player can hit six, who is the batter. If the confidence is there I think a six will be a six at any time, on any ground.’
With a slog sweep, sometimes a pull, sometimes a flick, and a bowler like Taskin coming down the wicket, the way Tawheed blasted it to long off, it seemed like sixes were killed effortlessly.
According to him, sixes require confidence, not power, ‘I think we are less used to such situations. When we keep playing slowly, when we hit sixes like that in the match, when every batter hits, the confidence will come that I will hit sixes.’
Tawheed dedicated this century to his mother. who is currently ill. Tawheed has no century in international cricket. Although he has a century in First Class, List ‘A’, he has never had the feat of touching the magic figure of three in T20. Now that too is done. Is this century on the stage of BPL something special or not? Tawheed’s straightforward answer is, ‘No.’ To him all centuries have the same weight. However, his hat-trick century against Sri Lanka while playing in the youth team is etched in his heart.
Four years ago today (9/2/2020), Tawheed won the Youth World Cup. He scored a century on his four-year anniversary. Although he claimed that the day of winning the World Cup was not in his mind. But the day of incredible memory never hides from his eyes, ‘Alhamdulillah, I remember when I close my eyes.’
