Liton Kumar Das is the modern touch Bangladesh cricket was waiting for—a fluent stroke-maker with an elegant presence at the crease, capable of dominating bowlers with classical shots and quiet aggression. Born on October 13, 1994, in Dinajpur, Liton’s cricketing journey began at a young age, nurtured through age-group cricket and polished at the BKSP (Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan), the country’s leading sports institute. Liton rose through the ranks with ease, making waves in domestic cricket with his style and temperament. He earned his international debut in 2015 and was immediately recognized for his smooth batting technique. However, like many young talents, consistency proved elusive at the beginning. Despite early flashes of brilliance—including a maiden Test fifty against India—Liton had to bide his time to establish himself fully. His breakthrough came in the shorter formats, especially in ODIs and T20Is, where his aggressive batting and rapid strike rate turned him into a formidable opener. In the 2018 Asia Cup final, Liton announced his arrival in style with a sublime 121 off 117 balls against India—his maiden ODI century that nearly won Bangladesh the title. That innings proved he could handle the big stage. In the years that followed, Liton transformed into a key figure at the top of the order. With a naturally attacking mindset, he has scored freely against top-tier teams, whether driving on the up or playing inventive shots in T20s. His record-breaking 176 against Zimbabwe in 2020 remains the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi in ODIs, further cementing his place in the team’s batting engine room. Aside from his batting, Liton has also kept wickets when needed—showcasing his versatility and commitment to the team. His improved consistency and growing maturity with the bat earned him a leadership role, occasionally standing in as vice-captain and even captain when seniors were unavailable. What sets Liton apart is his ability to play modern cricket with flair while maintaining classical foundations. Off the field, he’s soft-spoken, focused, and known for his calm demeanor—a perfect contrast to his aggressive on-field style. From a raw, promising youngster to a polished top-order batter, Liton Das represents the future of Bangladesh cricket—talented, fearless, and ready to take the game forward on his broadening shoulders.
