Pakistan’s Razaullah made a stunning impact on his Test debut as he scored a quickfire fifty against England in the third match in Edgbaston on Friday.
The 21-year-old smoked eight sixes in the second innings to prevent an innings defeat for Pakistan. Earlier in the first innings, Razaullah had taken four wickets with his right-arm pace.
The young all-rounder put on a century stand for the ninth wicket with Mohammad Abbas to keep Pakistan alive in the Test.
Only one player has hit more maximums on his Test debut – New Zealand’s Tim Southee, who carted nine sixes against England in 2008.
Interestingly, Razaullah’s heroics happened with Southee as a witness – the retired Kiwi pacer is at the Edgbaston as a consultant with the English side.
