Joe Root has scored his second double century in Test cricket against Pakistan. This is a double century by a batsman in Multan after a long time. Team India’s former explosive opener Virender Sehwag has scored a triple century in Test cricket here. However, now Joe Root will be called the new Sultan of Multan, because scoring a double century against Pakistan on their own soil is a big thing. Joe Root completed his double century in this match in 305 balls. Joe Root’s bat did not work in Multan in 2022, but this time he destroyed the Pakistani bowlers. This is Joe Root’s sixth double century in his Test career. He hit only 14 fours in this innings. During his innings, Joe Root expressed more confidence in singles and doubles. Even though the pitch is flat and easy to bat on, they did a good job of holding one end as Pakistan scored 556 runs in the first innings. Joe Root has already scored a double century against Pakistan. He has played an inning of 254 runs against Pakistan in Manchester in 2016. This is his best score in the test. At the same time, he has scored two double centuries against Sri Lanka and one double century each against New Zealand and Pakistan. If Root bats fast today, then like Virender Sehwag, he can also score a triple century here. Talking about the match, Pakistan team was all out after scoring 556 runs in 149 overs, whereas England team has scored 658 runs in 130 overs and only three wickets have fallen. For Pakistan, three batsmen had scored centuries, while for England, two batsmen each had scored double centuries. After Joe Root, Harry Brook has also crossed the 200-run mark. Abdullah Shafiq, Shan Masood and Agha Salman had scored centuries for Pakistan.

Shan Masood (Photo Source: Getty Images) There is a lot of turmoil in Pakistan cricket at the moment. Recently, they had lost in the Test series against Bangladesh, after which questions were raised on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given such a statement which has made him the target of many people. Pakistan cricket team is ready to play test series against England at home. This 3-match test series will start from October 7 in Multan. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given a big statement which many people are not liking. Actually, Shan Masood has spoken too much in praise of Pakistan’s opening batsman Abdullah Shafiq. He has described this 24 year old batsman as better than Virat Kohli. Shan Masood, in response to a question citing the comparison of statistics between Virat Kohli and Abdullah Shafiq, said that the Pakistan opener’s statistics in Test cricket are better than the star Indian batsman’s initial years. Pakistan Test team has been announced for the first Test of the series against England. Masood has been retained as the captain of the team while fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has returned to the team. Shaheen Afridi gave strange statement regarding Virat Kohli Shaheen did not get a place in the second and final Test against Bangladesh. Quoting Sportskeeda, journalists asked Shan Masood whether it is Abdullah Shafiq or Sam Ayub, the same type of players are playing T20 and Test. In response to this, the captain replied that he does not think your question is correct… He agrees that Pakistan has not played good cricket in 2024 but it is wrong to mix and compare Test performance with T20. He further said that things should be looked at objectively. You talk about statistics. The other day he kept looking at the record that Abdullah Shafiq, who has played 19 Tests, has a better record than Virat Kohli. There is no doubt that Shafiq’s figures in the first 19 Test matches may be better than Kohli’s, but this statement of Shan Masood has started a new kind of debate. Let us tell you that in the first 19 Test matches, Virat Kohli had scored 1178 runs in 32 innings at an average of 40.62, whereas Shafiq had scored 1372 runs in 36 innings of 19 matches at an average of 40.35.

England will soon tour Pakistan for a three-match Test series Ahmed Shehzad (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the 15-member Pakistan team for the first match of the upcoming three-match Test series against England. After the selection of this team, experienced cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has been seen criticizing the PCB fiercely. Let us tell you that for the first match against England in Multan, PCB has not selected Kamran Ghulam and Mohammad Ali in the team, who were part of the Pakistani team in the two-match home Test series against Bangladesh. However, during this time they did not get a chance to play, but when the team was selected against England, their selection was ignored. So now Shahzad has slammed the selectors and accused them of personal bias. Amidst the news of Aamir Jamal and Shaheen Afridi’s injuries, Shahzad is very surprised to see Mohammad Ali not being selected. Ahmed Shahzad gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the selection of the Pakistani team for the first Test against England, Ahmed Shahzad has posted a video on his official X account. In this video, Shahzad said- Kamran Ghulam has been ignored once again. I don’t understand, Khurram Shahzad is injured and Aamer Jamal is also not fully fit. Shaheen Shah Afridi is also not fully fit, yet you did not include Mohammad Ali, I don’t understand what options they have in this. Shahzad further said- How do you justify not selecting Kamran Ghulam and Sahibzada Farhan in the team? What sin did they commit? Is it because they bat in the same position where Babar bats? When Yousuf was the coach, he left everything to two-three players. Yousuf is now the selector and this is the team he is selecting. Give me a logic why Kamran Ghulam was left out? Pakistan team for the first test match against England Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper) and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Let us tell you, a video is going viral on social media in which Shaheen Shah Afridi can be seen removing Shan Masood’s hand from his shoulder during a team meeting. Shan Masood revealed that Shaheen Shah Afridi was moving his hand away because the ace fast bowler had an injury at that place and was in a lot of pain. After the match, Shan Masood said, ‘There is nothing like that. There is a talk that when I put my hand on Shaheen Shah Afridi’s shoulder, he removed it. The fast bowler was not angry with me. A ball from Nahid Rana hit his shoulder and I put my hand on the same place where he was hurt. Shaheen was in a lot of pain and that is why he removed my hand.’ Shan Masood also revealed about the argument with Jason Gillespie Another thing that was seen with Shan Masood during this Test series was that he was angry at Shaheen Shah Afridi when the fast bowler gave a boundary. However, Shan Masood said that he was angry with Jason Gillespie for not using the old ball during the match. Shan Masood further said, ‘I was angry at Jason Gillespie. But this is a different matter. Liton Das hit a shot after which the ball went into the stands. That ball was 8 overs old. When the umpire changed the ball, we saw that it was 18-19 overs old and my argument was that we need a better ball than this. After this, I saw on social media that there was an argument between me and Shaheen. That’s why I rarely see social media during the match.’ Anushka-Ritika fail in front of the wives of these 5 Pakistani cricketers Players with most centuries while chasing a score of 300+ in ODIs Virat Kohli will never be able to achieve these 3 records in his career These legendary cricketers have played only one IPL match “I will make RCB the champion for the first time…”- Priyansh Arya made a big claim List of captains who have won the toss the most number of times in Test cricket- Know who is Rishabh Pant’s girlfriend Isha Negi?
