Litton Das's Century Lights Up Bangladesh's Struggle Against Pakistan

Litton Das showcased his batting prowess with a stunning century, helping Bangladesh recover from a shaky start against Pakistan in the second cricket test, which began on Saturday.

The wicketkeeper-batter's innings of 126 runs off 159 balls was the cornerstone of Bangladesh's total of 278 all out on the first day of play. Despite a disciplined bowling performance by Pakistan, Das's efforts stood out as the lone stronghold for the home team.

Pakistan's bowlers, led by Khurram Shahzad who took four wickets, effectively dismantled the rest of the Bangladesh batting lineup. By the end of the day, Pakistan had responded with an assured start, finishing at 21 without loss, trailing by 257 runs.
