Bangladesh's opener Liton Kumar Das believes that success can have clarity of mind which eventually leads one to perform at the middle in cricket.
Liton's maiden ODI hundred looked to have a huge impact on his batting as he carried his international form in the four-day competition by smashing the fastest double hundred in Bangladesh’s first-class cricket.
Liton, who is featuring for Rangpur, broke his own record within six months as he completed his double ton in just 140 deliveries against Rajshahi that showed the amount of confidence he gathered from the ton against India.
''When someone is performing lot of things get clear into his head. I believe cricket is a mental game and if your mind is clear you are bound to succeed,'' said Liton.
''As I was not performing naturally there were doubts regarding my ability. After performing probably a lot, pressure was released so perhaps managed to play like that'', added by him.
''Certainly there is pressure of expectation as I have done well for my team. My team mates will want me to do well again while I would like to fulfill my expectations. I guess it is from both sides'', Liton concluded.
Bangladesh team will be looking forward to see the right-handed opener managing to make similar impact against Zimbabwe in the three-match ODI series on October 21 while they will play the other two matches at Chittagong respectively on October 24 and 26.
