Litton Das etched his name in Bangladesh’s cricketing history on Day 2 of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo, surpassing veteran teammate Mushfiqur Rahim to become the country’s leading wicketkeeper in Tests.
Having equalled Mushfiqur’s record of 113 dismissals in the first Test last week, Litton took a simple catch behind the stumps to dismiss Dinesh Chandimal in the final session, moving ahead with his 114th overall dismissal. His tally now includes 99 catches and 15 stumpings.
Achieving this milestone in just 65 innings, Litton reached the record in significantly fewer appearances than Mushfiqur, who took 97 innings to reach his mark. Litton’s swift rise underscores his consistency and reliability behind the stumps for Bangladesh in Test cricket.
