Delhi: Bangladesh's star batsman Tauheed Hridoy believes that the target of 350 runs can be achieved in the second Test against West Indies. However, for this the team will have to make a strong start on the fifth day. By the end of the fourth day's play in Sylhet, West Indies had lost three wickets for 345 runs in the second innings. The total lead of the team is 315 runs. Kevam Hodge is unbeaten on 140 runs, while Aamir Jangu is playing on 20 runs.

Hridoy said, “The outcome of the match will depend on how we start. The wicket is still good for batting. If we are successful in getting a good start, then it is possible to achieve the target. However, what will happen tomorrow, it is difficult to say right now.”

Hearts learn from criticism

Hridoy described criticism as a part of his game. He had to face criticism due to poor shot selection in the Dhaka Test, but in Sylhet he made a brilliant comeback by scoring 242 not out in the first innings.

He said, “I want to thank Allah that I was able to contribute to the team. Criticism happens in every profession, when we do well, you praise us and, when we perform poorly, you also criticize. A lot can be learned from criticism if thought in the right way.”

Said on leaving Mushfiqur Rahim behind

Hridoy did not think of breaking Mushfiqur Rahim's record during his historic innings. He said, “It was my luck. I did not think whose record I was breaking. My entire focus was on taking the team out of a difficult situation and taking it to a good place.”

Praise for lower order batsmen

On the partnership with Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed, Hridoy said that both of them batted brilliantly under pressure. According to him, the lower order players had an important contribution in taking the team to a strong position.
