Pakistan’s all-rounder Aamer Jamal has etched his name into the record books during his debut Test series against Australia on Wednesday.
In an exceptional achievement, Jamal has become the third Pakistan cricketer to accomplish the rare feat of scoring over 100 runs and taking more than 10 wickets in a Test series in Australia.
Furthermore, he has secured the distinction of being the first Pakistani player to achieve a score of 50 or more runs and claim five or more wickets in his debut Test series.
This historic moment unfolded during the ongoing third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where Jamal showcased his prowess both with the bat and ball.
His outstanding fifty in the first innings has now placed him in an exclusive club, sharing this achievement with legendary Pakistan cricketers Imran Khan and Wasim Akram.
Jamal’s remarkable innings of 82 runs off 97 deliveries, embellished with 9 fours and 4 sixes, proved to be a pivotal contribution for Pakistan.
Faced with the challenging situation of 227/9, Jamal’s unparalleled resilience and skill not only saved Pakistan from a precarious position but also propelled their innings to a commendable total of 313.
