The Bangla Bomber

The Indians got a taste of Ashraful's magic when they toured Bangladesh last year.

In the second Test at Chittagong, Ashraful hammered 158 from 194 balls, which included 24 boundaries and three sixes.

Bangladesh lost the match by an innings and 83 runs. India had two centurions -- Gautam Gambhir (139) and Rahul Dravid (160), but the man-of-the-match was Ashraful.

After that breath-taking innings he drew praise from batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.

'This guy is talented. He batted really well and handled pressure very well,' Tendulkar said.
