Pakistan witnesses new batting talent in 19-year-old Mohammad Huraira, who became the second-youngest Pakistani after Javed Miandad to score a first-class triple century on Monday.
The Sialkot-born top-order batter, who is also former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik’s nephew, reached this milestone on the third day of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match where Northern is playing against Balochistan.
Huraira achieved this feat in his maiden first-class season. He had scored two centuries before this landmark performance.
The triple century by Huraira came in only 327 deliveries making it one of the quickest first-class triple centuries.
The Pakistani youngster is the ninth teenager in the world to smash a triple ton first-class cricket and the second Pakistani after Javed Miandad to score a triple century at 17.
It is pertinent to note that Huraira is also the eighth youngest batter, overall, to achieve this feat.
