This is the new culture of the Bangladesh team. If the match is won, an influential performer is selected in the dressing room. He was given a special maroon jacket. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto got that jacket by scoring a century in the first ODI win against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. However, head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe praised three others who claimed to get this jacket.
Bangladesh did not let the Lankans fight in the first ODI in Chittagong. 255 runs won the match by 6 wickets. Pacer Tanjim Hasan Shakib grabbed attention with 3 wickets in bowling in the team's victory. He shook Sri Lanka's good start and brought the team back into the game. Shanta scored 122 off 129 balls in batting. But there are roles for two more veterans.
After losing 3 wickets for 23 runs, Mahmudullah scored 37 off 37 balls in a partnership of 69 runs with Shanta. Mushfiq scored 73 runs from 84 balls in an unbroken partnership of 165 runs.
In the team meeting in the dressing room, the coach explained everything in detail. At the end Shanta was given a maroon jacket, 'We saw a lot of bravery in batting and bowling. We were behind. They got off to a good start in batting. They took 3 early wickets in our batting as well. But the character we have shown is coming back. The body language was great.'
'I know there are some great personal performances. I started with (Tanjim) Shakib. They were 70 runs for no wicket. You came to the ball and did what you needed to do, like getting a maroon jacket.'
In batting, 3 wickets fell for 23 runs. I think Riyad's intent is very important. He put on a 69-run partnership with Shanta, scoring runs (37 off 37 balls). This intent brings us back into the game. Weldon Riad.'
'I want to highlight Mushfiqur's consistency. The pressure eased off Shantar in his innings. The way you played the spinners was brilliant.'
'I forgot to say one thing. The way you (Riyad) handled Hasaranga, their best bowler. He hit a six off his second ball. You have shown that our intention is clear with this six. Weldon. Didn't let him influence the game.'
'Finally, I will talk about the captain. The dedication and tenacity you have shown in times of stress. You have won by playing till the 48th over. You have scored a century. Do not suffer from any fear. Your field placement was also spot on. There was so much determination, hunger, intent. You control everything. Doing so will result. I wanted to give the maroon jacket to both of you but calm down you deserve it.'
Later, the Bangladesh captain put on the maroon jacket with a smile from the coach.
