Fawad Alam Created A Unique Record In Test Match Against Australia

Well, left-hander, Fawad Alam created a unique record by doing nothing in the game. Fawad became the first Pakistani batter in the last 28 years to have finished the Test without batting, bowling, catching. Yes, you read that right.

Fawad Alam, who usually bats at number 5 didn’t get to bat as the captain decided to promote other batters ahead of him. Not just this, Fawad Alam, who has bagged 15 international wickets, wasn’t among the seven Pakistani bowlers who rolled their arm over in the game.

He failed to make an impact in the fielding department as well as he neither affected a run-out nor took a catch.

As per statistician Mazher Arshad, Fawad is the first Pakistani batter after Asif Mujtaba to have finished a Test without batting, bowling, fielding. He wrote:

“Fawad Alam is first Pakistan player in 28 years to go a complete Test without batting, bowling, catching. Last was Asif Mujtaba vs New Zealand in Wellington in 1994,”

Meanwhile, as fans on social media got to know about the unique record created by Fawad Alam, they flooded social media with jokes and memes to it.
