Nahid Rana got the first ball in the ninth over of the day. He bowled the first ball at a speed of 146 kilometers per hour. Throughout the day this pace was seen to be regular. While giving extra speed, he suffered a lot with the line-length, which has scratched the bowling figure. However, he got the break throw which is the specialty of such bowlers in the last session. He became the hero to break the big pair of Sri Lanka and bring Bangladesh back into the game.

Nahid Rana's rise in cricket is quite amazing. Just 3 years ago he was not playing cricket. He took his first cricket ball after turning 18. Tall in physique. Innately gifted with loudness. The son of Chapainawabganj was not late in reaching various stages due to his unique characteristics.
The right-handed youngster took 3 wickets with 87 runs in 14 overs against Sri Lanka on Friday. Bowling figures will say nothing big has happened. However, the lack of things that were evident in Bangladesh cricket so far, has given a strong impression of filling.
A pacer from Bangladesh regularly bowled at a speed of 145 kilometers per hour, sometimes approaching 150 kilometers per hour. It is exciting for fans, supporters and team management. All eyes were on Nahid in Sylhet on Friday.
21-year-old Peruno Nahid entered the Test with only 15 first-class match experience. He did not have to go through all the steps due to his inherent unique skills. His way is running with a lot of jumps.
It can be understood from the fielding that he is still quite raw in cricket without pace bowling. No clear idea of when to chase the ball, when to dive. He struggled in catching practice the day before. Knowing this weakness of Nahid, the senior cricketers of the team handled him very well. They were shouting and guiding him when he would dive after the ball.
In Chapainawabganj, the northern district of the country, Nahid's family did not support cricket in the beginning. Rather, the pressure of studying from the family was strong. But his inclination was towards sports. The family stipulates that he will be allowed to play only if he can pass SSC. By fulfilling the conditions, the practice of cricket ball started at the age of 18 years. It was not difficult to advance forward by storming the age-wise steps.
He got 63 wickets in 15 matches for Rajshahi division in the first class. The speed of 149 km per hour for Khulna Tigers in the last BPL gave rise to discussion. The Bangladesh team could not handle the temptation to drop such a talent in the Test.
Speaking to the media at the end of the first day against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh pace bowling coach Andre Adams commented excitedly about Nahid, 'He is talented, he is fast. Almost every ball hit 145 kmph. His bowling action is also beautiful. He is still Ankora, he has a lot to learn to become great.'
Nahid's body is still not healthy even though he is tall. He also has a lot of work to do with fitness. It is important that he is played well, managed and used at the right time
