With a plethora of colossal cricket achievements and laudable landmark victories to his name, the prodigious Pakistani batsman Younis Khan has once again made the entire nation proud by setting a new world record!
Today at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka, the King Khan of Pakistan’s cricket made history by setting the record of being the first ever test cricket player to hit a substantial number of unbeatable five centuries in four innings.
The Pahstun player is now in the ranks of the first Pakistani cricketer to score a round of 30 Test centuries.
What is more, Khan has now crushed the record of the legendary Australian cricketer Don Bradman in the list of test cricketers with the highest collection of the three-figure score.
The elated Younis who equaled Bradman’s milestone of reaping a haul of 29 hundreds in Bangladesh Vs Pakistan 2nd test last month, has now proudly surpassed this score as well.
He is on the brink of creating yet another massive feat by being just 238 runs away from smashing the revolutionary 22 year old record set by Javed Miandad of maximum number of 8832 runs in Test cricket. Till date, Younis has attained 8547 number of runs.
Since his exemplary debut in 2005, Mardan-born Khan has evidently worked hard and battled against all odds to become the giant of the game.
Rated amongst the best in the pantheon of bona fide Pakistani cricket players, Younis is undoubtedly a leader who has contributed in victories of the nation’s cricket team from time to time.
Proud Twitterati from all over the nation poured in their heartiest congratulations for Younis Khan on his latest round of accomplishments.
The legend strikes again…the brilliance continues. Five 4th-innings hundreds for Younis Khan, the most in Test history. #SLvPAK #PAKvSL
