Former Pakistan captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, came up with a stunning century in the second innings of the series finale against New Zealand in Karachi.
The 35-year-old cricketer showcased an outstanding performance in the ongoing historic Test series, scoring three consecutive fifties and a century.
With this knock, the right-handed batter now has the highest average among Pakistani wicket-keeper batters in the history of Test cricket.
In the opening Test, the Karachi-born batter surpassed Kamran Akmal on the list of Pakistani wicket-keeper batters with the most runs in red-ball cricket.
The right-handed batter has now scored 2,992 Test runs at an average of 38.85 in fifty games, including four centuries and 21 half-centuries.
Kamran Akmal, on the other hand, amassed 2,648 runs in 53 matches while former wicket-keeper, Moin Khan, scored 2,581 runs in 66 Test matches.
