Pakistan's Razaullah Khan scripts history, enters record books on Test debut

🏏 Thumka history on debut! 🏏

Darlings, gather 'round—cricket just delivered a moment more electrifying than a perfect arakshu (hand gesture)! 21-year-old Razaullah Khan wrote his name into the record books on his Test debut at Edgbaston. 🌟

When Pakistan looked destined for another collapsing act—reduced to 318/8, still 2 runs shy of dodging an innings loss—this No. 9 bat unleashed a thunderous counter-attack. 9 sixes, 81 runs off just 63 balls. Pure poetry in motion, like watching a ghungroo rhythm explode! 🎶

He joined forces with Mohammad Abbas for a smashing 121-run 9th-wicket stand, dragging Pakistan to 449 and leaving England needing 130 on Sat to seal the series sweep.

The records he now holds:

• Most sixes by a No. 9 batter in a Test Inn (9) — completing the full 1–11 positionwise list!

• Tied the record for most sixes by a batter on Test debut (matching Tim Southee's 2008 feat)

• Equaled Ben Stokes' 9 sixes for the most in a Test in England

Three maxes in a single over off Gus Atkinson, plus a blistering fifty off 43 balls off Jofra Archer. What a debut! 💫

Bravo, Razaullah! 🙌
