The right-hander stroked 17 boundaries en route his achievement. Bangladesh made their entry into Test cricket against India in 2000 in a match played at Dhaka.

The story of their Test debut was a contrasting tale of two innings, as they scored 400 in the first but got bundled out for a meager 91 in the second, handing the Indians an easy victory.

Aminul, who turned superstar overnight amongst Bangladeshi fans for his magnanimous effort, could not ever replicate such success as he managed just 385 more runs in his entire career of 13 matches.
