Rain disrupted the Kanpur Test for the first three days but on the fourth day, Bangladesh's left-handed batsman Mominul Haque won the hearts of Bangladeshi fans with his batting. This left-handed batsman scored a brilliant century in the first innings of the Kanpur Test. Mominul faced India's strong bowling and scored a century. Mominul achieved the feat of scoring a century for the 13th time in his Test career. Let us tell you that in the Kanpur Test, Rishabh Pant was making fun of this player's stature but this player won everyone's heart with his strong batting.

Mominul Haque is only 5 feet 2 inches tall. On the first day of the Kanpur Test, while sweeping Ashwin's ball, the ball hit Mominul's helmet. After this, Pant said from behind the wicket that LBW can also be taken by hitting the ball on the helmet. Although Pant said this to distract Mominul, this left-handed batsman remained on the wicket and this player scored his first Test century against India.

Mominul Haque came to the crease when Bangladesh lost their opener Zakir Hasan with a score of 26. After this, while batting at number 3, Mominul showed amazing patience. He especially faced Ashwin in a great way. In the Chennai Test, Mominul was facing a lot of problems from Ashwin but the situation looked different in Kanpur. Mominul took 110 balls for his half-century and in the next 62 balls he reached the century. In his innings, Mominul hit one six and 16 fours. Mominul remained unbeaten on 102 runs till lunch.

Mominul Haque scored a century but luck also favoured him during this time. Rishabh Pant dropped a catch of Mominul Haque on Ashwin's ball. At that time Mominul was playing on 93 runs. After this, when Mominul was on 95 runs, Virat Kohli dropped his catch on Siraj's ball. However, this catch-on slip was very difficult.

This century of Mominul Haque is special.

This century of Mominul Haque is also special because, for the first time in the last 20 years, a foreign batsman has scored a century in Kanpur. Before this, Andrew Hall had scored a Test century in Kanpur in 2004. And in the last 40 years, only two batsmen have scored a Test century in Kanpur, which also includes the name of Mominul Haque.
