Litton Das Hails Shamim’s Impact in Tigers’ Historic Victory
Bangladesh vice-captain Litton Das praised teammate Shamim Hossain for his “infectious energy and fearless intent” following the team’s record 83-run win over Sri Lanka in the second T20I.
Speaking after the match, Litton emphasized how Shamim’s early fielding brilliance and confident body language sparked belief in the squad from the opening over.
🧠 Key Quote
“It wasn’t just about runs or wickets—Shamim gave us energy. That catch in the deep, the way he threw himself into everything—he lifted all of us.”
— Litton Das
🔥 Shamim’s Key Contributions
| Role | Impact |
|---|---|
| Fielding | Diving catch to remove Kusal Mendis early |
| Attitude | Constant chatter, pressure from point |
| Intangibles | Inspired bowlers with intensity & hustle |
Though Shamim didn’t shine with the bat in this game, his off-the-ball impact was immense, proving how much value “livewire fielders” add in modern T20 cricket.
🧾 Teamwork the Real MVP
Litton himself starred with a match-winning 61 off 39, but he was quick to deflect praise toward the squad’s collective effort—especially highlighting Taskin’s precision, Mustafizur’s variations, and Mahedi’s control.
“We needed this response as a unit. And when guys like Shamim give it their all, it’s easy for the rest of us to follow,” Litton added.
⚡ The Road Ahead
With the series now level at 1–1, all eyes are on the third T20I decider. But if Bangladesh can maintain this balance of star power and support roles, they’ll head in with the momentum—and the morale.
Fielders win matches. And sometimes, they ignite record victories.
