Shoaib Malik achieved unique feat in T20 cricket
Shoaib Malik achieved a unique
feat for Pakistan during the match between Sialkot region and Rawalpindi region
in the ongoing National T20 Cup at the UBL sports complex in Karachi.
Malik, who has represented Pakistan in 446 International matches, became the
first Pakistani batter to score 1000 fours in 482 innings in T20 cricket.
While doing
so, he became only the eight player in the history of cricket to achieve this
milestone.
He also completed 400 sixes in the shorter format and became the only fourth Pakistani
to have done that so far.
It is worth
mentioning that Malik had earlier expressed that he wants to break Chris Gayle’s
record for most runs in T20 cricket.
The all
rounder needs 1,719 runs to create history as he currently has 12,843 runs in
482 innings in T20 cricket while Gayle has 14,526 in 455 innings.
It must be
noted that Malik is one of the longest serving cricketers in Pakistan cricket.
Making his International debut against West indies at Sharjah in October 1999,
he is still going strong at the top level even after 24 years since his debut.
