Tamim Iqbal is one of the best openers in the history of cricket in the country. His name is associated with many records. Tamim is well ahead of other batsmen in Bangladesh in all three formats. This time he set a new record, being the first among the country's batsmen to reach the milestone of 6,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket.

Beximco batted first in the match against Dhaka and Tamim hit a long off six off the fifth ball of the 11th over to reach 25-31. And this completed 6,000 runs of Tamim's T20 career. Tamim reached this milestone by playing the 212th innings of the 213th match of his career.

And in this he has become the tenth fastest batsman in the world among those who have scored 6000 runs in the format of twenty overs. In front of him are Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, David Warner, Brendon McCullum. But behind him are batsmen like Rohit Sharma, AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
