Following the conclusion of the match, the Prime Minister spoke with the players via video call to congratulate them on their historic triumph. He also conveyed greetings on behalf of the people of Bangladesh.

It is worth noting that Bangladesh previously won a Test match against Australia in Mirpur in 2017. By defeating the world’s number-one-ranked Test team on their home soil this time, Bangladesh has written a new chapter in history. (With Inputs From ANI)
