With this milestone, he became the second-youngest Pakistani after legendary Javed Miandad and eight overall to score a triple century at the First-Class level.

Huraira achieved this feat at the age of 19 years 239 days in Karachi. Miandad scored the triple century at the age of 17 and 310 days against National Bank, during the 1974-75 season of QeA Trophy.

Here is a list of the youngest centurions in FC cricket:

Youngest Triple Centurions

Age	Player	Match	Year
17 years 310 days	Javed Miandad (PAK)	Karachi Whites vs National Bank	1974/75
18 years 259 days	Bahir Shah (AFG)	Speen Ghar Region vs Boost Region	2017/18
18 years 262 days	Wasim Jaffer (IND)	Mumbai (1) vs Saurashtra	1996/97
18 years 302 days	Abhinav Mukund (IND)	Tamil Nadu vs Maharashtra	2008/09
19 years 9 days	Rishabh Pant (IND)	Delhi (1) vs Maharashtra	2016/17
19 years 161 days	Raqibul Hasan (BAN)	Barisal Division vs Sylhet Division	2006/07
19 years 195 days	Frank Worrell (WI)	Barbados vs Trinidad	1994/95
19 years 239 days	Mohammad Huraira (PAK)	Northern vs Balochistan	2021/22

The right-handed batter scored the triple hundred off just 327 deliveries while playing just the 10th match of his first season. It came in reply to Balochistan’s first-innings total of 305.

In the process, Huraira constructed a record 365-run opening stand with Sarmad Bhatti who got out after scoring 135 runs.

The 19-year-old finally got out on 311 from 343 balls, while trying to pull Akif Javed’s bouncer. He was caught by Najeebullah Achakzai at deep square leg.

After his wicket, Faizan Riaz (26) and Mubasir Khan (31) played some big shots before Northern declared the innings at 624/4 with a massive first-innings lead of 319 runs.

Earlier on Sunday, Huraira told PakPassion that he was fortunate to have someone like Malik in his family.

“I am very fortunate that Shoaib Malik is my uncle and he has always been an inspiration for me. He has always encouraged me to not give up and to continue working hard as there are no shortcuts to success in cricket.”

He said that he idolizes New Zealand captain, Kane Williamson, India’s Virat Kohli, and Pakistan’s all-format captain, Babar Azam.

“I absolutely idolize Kane Williamson for his technical and tactical skills. Obviously, Virat Kohli’s variety of shots where he can play with equal precision all around the ground is something that I admire a lot and try and copy where I can,” he said.

“Babar Azam is another batsman I love to watch and emulate as he has a great temperament and his shot selection is amazing,” he concluded.
