After the game, Mushfiqur had said, “The celebration I had after the double century was actually for my son. My son is a big fan of dinosaurs. I wanted to celebrate as much as he did when he saw dinosaurs. ‘

Posting that celebration’s photo in his verified facebook page on the New Year’s Eve, Mushfiqur wrote, “I haven’t had a chance to play Test cricket this year.

“But this moment is memorable to me. Inshallah, there will be more such moments next year.”
