Pakistani bowler Aamer Jamal wowed onlookers with his batting heroics in his maiden series.
On Day 1 of the current third Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday, January 3.
Jamal, who batted at No. 9, contributed critical runs for his team at the finish of the game. He scored 82 runs off 97 balls, the highest-ever score by a Pakistani No. 9 in Australia.
Several supporters praised the 27-year-old on social media for his brave knock. Here are some of the most common responses:
It’s worth noting that Nathan Lyon dropped Aamer Jamal in the 58th over off his bowling.
The squandered chance cost the hosts dearly as Jamal counterattacked the opposing bowlers with flair.
Despite a poor start, the Men in Green managed to score 313 runs led by Mohammad Rizwan (88) and Jamal.
