Miraj frankly admitted that the stage is something special for him. The team won a historic series away from home, after which he became the ‘Man of Series’ of that series. Mehdi Hasan Miraj is supposed to be overjoyed.
But even in this moment of ecstasy, he did not forget about the situation of the country a month ago. He dedicated his series victory to the martyrs of the anti-discrimination movement. It does not end here; he said that he is giving the entire amount of his award to the family of the rickshaw puller who was martyred in the movement.
Miraj has made a big contribution to Bangladesh's victory in both Tests in Rawalpindi. In the first Test, Mushfiqur paired with Miraj and scored a record 196 runs for the seventh wicket. He scored 77 runs himself. Then he did not allow Pakistan to increase the lead by taking 4 wickets on the last day.
His role became more clear in the second Test. In the first innings, he crushed Pakistan with 5 wickets for 61 runs. Then with the bat when the team lost 6 wickets for 26 runs in grave danger, he along with Liton Das scored 165 runs for the seventh wicket. That leaves the team in a safe position avoiding the fear of follow-on.
After such a performance in two matches, he was the most worthy contender for the series best. He became that. Coming to receive the award, Miraj said, 'The country has gone through a lot of bad times. A rickshaw puller was injured during the student agitation, later died. I want to stand by his family with the money of this match winner.
