When Bangladesh are on the verge of something special as they gear up for the first series victory against any side apart from Zimbabwe since 2009, Mominul Hauqe also is on the brink of eclipsing Virat Kohli’s record of four centuries in this year, a feat that would be a matter of pride. No Bangladeshi batsman as of now could be the part of such sort of global record even though batting Maestro Kohli has still the chance to improve his record since he will be playing three more Test matches in this year against Australia.
Mominul though knew it well what a century matters, he said he wants to keep focus on doing something special for team’s cause.
“I am not thinking that I have an opportunity [to surpass Kohli in terms of Test centuries in 2018]. I always try to bat for as many sessions as I can and to play according to my plan and routine, and to do as much as I can, for the team,” he said.
However, what should be termed an Achilles' heel for Mominul, is his failure to convert his 150s to 200s as the feat eluded him on four occasions. As he has been in tremendous form, expectations are high for him to break the double-century-jinx.
“Thinking about why I am scoring 150s and not reaching 200, will cause me unnecessary botheration. If you keep working and practicing on a regular basis, then I will overcome that. If I can figure out what’s causing the problem at that point, it’ll automatically be okay,” Mominul informed.
And also given the form, Mominul is expected to make a century in the Test, on what is going to be Bangladesh’s year-end Test.
“It is difficult to perform while thinking of ending the year with a century. I always try to do something for the team in every match as a player; every player thinks that way. So, I will try to make some contribution which can help my team win the last match. Thinking this way makes it easier to perform,” he concluded.
