Bashar, who arrived in Fatullah earlier than usual to ensure he was there to witness his own record being broken, said he was happy to see Tamim cross him and wanted the batsman to score 10,000 Test runs.
"I came to the ground early today hoping to see Tamim cross my record," Bashar told ESPNcricinfo. "I told him before the Test match that I wanted to see him do it in this game. I didn't want to wait for too long.
