As the 25-year-old received the award he talked about his strategy to focus on one specific area to hit. 


While speaking during the presentation ceremony, Mehidy Hasan Miraz said, " I am really happy and excited. I was only thinking about focusing on one area and believing in that strategy and I knew I only needed to bat about 20 balls to get going. I tried to bowl wicket to wicket with the ball. It is a memorable performance for me.
