Tamim Iqbal Khan, affectionately known as Tamim Iqbal, is a force to be reckoned with in the cricketing world. As the first Bangladeshi to score a century in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, his name echoes through the annals of cricketing history.
Tamim made his ODI debut in 2007 and played his first Test match the following year. His maiden century against Ireland marked the beginning of an illustrious career. He went on to become the only Bangladeshi batsman to score a century against the England cricket team at Lord's Stadium, a feat that cemented his reputation as a formidable opponent.
In 2011, Tamim was named one of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack's four Cricketers of the Year, and Wisden's Test Player of the Year, becoming the second Bangladeshi player to receive the esteemed honor. He was also the highest run scorer in the 2016 T20 WC, accumulating an impressive 295 runs.
