Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim dedicated his third Test double-century to his son Shahroj Mayan and added that he had nothing to prove to the critics.

Mushfiqur made a face and made a movement with his hands to suggest claws before pumping his fist in traditional Mushfiqur style. He then went onto show that it was in tribute to someone small in stature. His celebration piqued everyone's interest and asked at the press conference what his celebration was about, Mushfiqur said that he had dedicated the double ton to his son Mayan.

"There was nothing like revenge or any such thing (answering the critics). I was never like that in my entire career. Basically I don't plan about my celebration but my son is fond of dinosaurs and I tried to emulate that after scoring the double century,’’ said Mushfiqur.

"[This innings] wasn't about any pressure release. I made 74 in my last Test innings. I want to make the most contribution for the team. Since it was a good wicket, we planned that a top six batsman should try for a 150 or 200 once he is set. Mominul batted really well too," he said.

Rahim believes that at this stage of his career, every innings must be highly valued.

"In Bangladesh this is when players are discarded, but definitely in world cricket, this is the time when a player really matures as a bowler and batsman.

"This is the time to return the time a player has invested in his career, and that too consistently. Every innings is vital, and I want to maximise every time I go out to bat. I want to make unbeaten centuries, 150s and 200s, which should help me and the team."
