Fakhar Zaman on Friday became the first Pakistan cricketer to score a double century in one-day internationals.
Fakhar Zaman, along with Imam-ul-Haq also broke the all-time opening partnership in ODI history. The Pakistan duo went past Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga to break the all-time opening partnership record. Zaman and Imam formed a huge 304-run opening stand before the latter was dismissed by Wellington Masakadza.
Zaman's 210 not out came off 156 balls, which included 24 fours and 5 sixes. But it didn't always start that way. As unbelievable as it sounds in hindsight, given how quick Zaman was with the run-scoring, he didn't have strike for the first three overs of the innings. But once he did, taking his good ol' time to settle with only two boundaries from the first 20 balls he faced, Zaman went into overdrive.
