Shoriful also registered the best figures by a Bangladeshi pacer in Test cricket history. In fact, he is the first pacer from his country to take a seven-for in an innings in the longest format of the game. The record previously belonged to Shahbat Hossain, who set it 18 years ago. The right-arm pacer registered incredible figures of 6-27 against South Africa in 2008 at the Sher-E-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. Meanwhile, Edabot Hossain held the record for the best figures away from home for a Bangladesh pacer after taking a 6-46 against New Zealand during the Tigers’ eight-wicket win at Mount Maunganui in 2022, which was not just their win in Test cricket in a SENA nation.
