For Hridoy, this was a coming-of-age performance, and he will be looking to build on this in the future. He has all the makings of a top-class batsman, and if he continues to work hard on his game, he could become a regular fixture in the Bangladesh team.
All in all, it was a great day for Bangladesh cricket, and Hridoy was the star of the show.
