Tamim Iqbal's 'debut' in running commentary
Tamim Iqbal has not been in the national team for a long time. However, he is not on this tour of India. It was known that he is making running commentary in this India-Bangladesh series. Today is his ‘debut’.
Tamim Iqbal has already made his debut in commentary. But that is as a guest commentator. During New Zealand's tour of Bangladesh in late 2023, he was on commentary for parts of a session. Before that, he commented on the 2022 BPL.
However, this is the first time that Tamim is staying in a series as a full-fledged commentator. The former Bangladesh captain is getting acquainted with another first. This is the first time he is commenting outside the country.
After the toss, Tamim appeared on the analysis show of Star Sports. Parthiv Patel was with him there.
Then he appeared in the commentary room in the middle of the first session. He was accompanied by former Indian cricketer and commentator Ravi Shastri and legendary cricket analyst Harsha Bhogle.
Bangladesh is also smiling at Tamim's different debut day. Pacer Hasan Mahmud's cannon in the face of 100 before India lost 4 wickets!
