The right-handed top-order batsman thinks that a batsman starts his innings from zero. So, a century should not be taken as too significant.
Bangladesh team started their preparation ahead of the series against Zimbabwe that will take place in Dhaka with a day-night affair on 21 October.
During the second day of practice camp, Liton Das talked to the media for the first time after the Asia Cup where Bangladesh finished as runners-up as they lost the final to India in the last over.
Das played an excellent knock in the final as he hit his maiden ODI ton. The right-handed batsman smashed 121 off 117 balls stunning India in the final at the Dubai international stadium.
The century came as a relief to Das as he was struggling to bring his golden run of domestic cricket into internationals.
It is believed that the innings changed the fortune of the batsman forever as he was seen to say that he needs only a big innings to showcase his talent in the international arena according to the expectation. But, the Dinajpur-born lad said that the century against India is not significant to him.
But the batsman though gave more importance to that knock than his recent record of fastest double-ton as Bangladeshi in First-Class cricket.
He played a superb knock of 203 in 142 balls for Rangpur against Rajshahi. He completed the double-ton in 140 deliveries which is the record of fastest double-ton in First-Class by a Bangladeshi.
Das aims for consistency after finding the rhythm that he was waiting for in the international circuit. He said: “I know what I should do now and it is nothing but performing well on a regular basis. Now, this is the only thing I want to focus on.”
