Finally, after many years, Bangladesh has attained a Test victory over Australia!
Yes, it was on home ground, but the fact that it was over Australia, and the fact that it was achieved in a tough contest, makes it so special and commendable.
It is time for the Bangladeshi cricketers and cricket-loving public to take pride and also use this inspiring and historic win as a springboard for future successes.
Sachin Tendulkar grew up on the heady rush we all felt on seeing Kapil Dev lift the World Cup in 1983.
Cricketers like Virender Sehwag and Virat Kohli grew up watching Sachin smash bowlers all over the world and dominating every type of attack on every type of pitch and match situation.
It could be just a match and Australia can always come back.
But the moot point is that matches and victories are more than just statistics.
What a stat would not tell you is how the victory impacted the cricketers and the nation.
It cannot put a metric to what the victory achieved, by way of inspiring and propelling the country and its cricket to another level.
So here's to Bangladesh cricket and its cricket-loving audience: Hope you get better through this win and evolve further to realize your true potential...well done and good luck for future!!
