GALLE: Pakistan’s left-handed batsman Fawad Alam has completed 1000 runs in the game’s longest format in the middle of play on the second day of the ongoing second test.
Fawad, who came to bat in a challenging phase for his team when Pakistan were struggling at 65/3, having lost their best batsmen Babar Azam, Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq, provided a moment to appreciate the visitors. while he racked up a mark of a thousand runs in Test Cricket.
The left-handed batsman, however, couldn’t stay long in the crease to get the visitors out of trouble, as he was only able to score 24 runs from 69 balls before Ramesh Mendis caught him in the legs briefly after Tea.
Over the course of his brief inning, the southpaw racked up a major milestone for his career, which remained inconsistent as he was dropped from the side after playing just two Tests before returning to the team after an 11-year gap.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan has scored 171/6 in 59 overs and is still trailing by 207 runs.
