In a remarkable display of resilience, Towhid Hridoy scored his maiden ODI century, finishing with 100 runs off 118 balls against India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Battling severe cramps throughout his innings, Hridoy expressed that he could have added “20-30 more runs” without the physical discomfort. Coming to bat at a precarious 35/4, he formed a crucial 154-run partnership with Jaker Ali, helping Bangladesh reach a total of 228. Hridoy's performance was especially noteworthy in the sweltering heat of Dubai, where he was treated for cramps on several occasions. In spite of his discomfort, he displayed incredible grit, and fans and commentators alike sang his praises. Bangladesh eventually failed, however, as India chased down the score with ease.
