Inzi and Younis make history - Sports


Inzi raises his bat after reaching
his 21st Test century in Bangalore


On the first day of the third test match being played in India's silicon valley, Bangalore, between arch rivals Pakistan and India, Pakistan found itself in trouble right from the beginning. Pakistan were down by 2 when they had only registered a meagre score of 7 runs on the board. Soon after, captain Inzimam and vice captain Younis Khan stepped in, took control, and showed the rest of the team how the game is played. Inzimam scored a staggering 184 off 263 balls, while Younis was quietly ticking the scoreboard at 127, at the end of the first day. The two batsmen notched up 316 runs between them, while Inzimam was only the fifth player in cricket's history to have scored a century in his 100th match. He was also responsible for scoring the highest ever individual score on this ground, taking over the previous record of 175 set by none other than Sachin Tendulkar, the greatest batsman the world has ever seen. Way to go, Inzi and Younis! Congratulations!
