Bangladesh’s young pacer Nahid Rana has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world with his fiery bowling in the Jamaica Test against the West Indies. His career-best spell not only earned him a maiden five-wicket haul but also secured a crucial lead for Bangladesh. Rana’s blistering pace and control left the Caribbean batters reeling and garnered high praise from global cricketing icons like Ian Bishop, Samuel Badree, and Brad Hogg.
Samuel Badree, the renowned Caribbean commentator and former cricketer, took to X (formerly Twitter) to applaud Rana’s exceptional performance. He wrote: "Bangladesh have a jewel in their hands. Nahid Rana was much talked about, and boy were they right. His pace is exceptional, fastest ever from Bangladesh. But his control, equally impressive. He will only get better and Bangladesh cricket will rise."
Badree also shared a clip of commentary during Rana’s spell, where former cricketer Athar Ali Khan praised his composure and impact.
Australian legend Brad Hogg joined the conversation, highlighting Rana’s endurance and skill. He posted: "The ability to maintain high pace through the whole 1st innings of the West Indies was very impressive. Wonderful 5 wickets for Nahid Rana. Exciting career ahead."
Ian Bishop, who witnessed Rana’s spell from the commentary box, was among the first to acknowledge the young bowler’s talent. He noted how Rana’s consistent speed and sharp lines proved too much for the West Indies' batting lineup.
Rana’s stellar bowling performance has not only brought Bangladesh back into the match but also set up the possibility of a historic victory. With a 211-run lead and momentum on their side, the Tigers are now in a commanding position to close out the game. Rana’s contributions, alongside the team’s collective effort, could result in a much-needed morale-boosting win for a side currently navigating challenging times.
Nahid Rana’s emergence as a genuine fast bowler marks a significant shift for Bangladesh cricket, traditionally reliant on spin. If nurtured properly, Rana could lead a new era of pace bowling dominance for the nation.
