Fans on Twitter laud Younis Khan for brilliant knock
Aug 13, 2016 at 7:28 PM
Pakistan’s ace batsman and the ever reliable Younus Khan roared back to form in some style as he continued his good work on Day 3. After securing a priceless century by the end of the second day, Khan was determined and seemed to be in great touch on day 3, as he notched up his 150 and then his double century. Currently, Younus is not out on 204 and with two Pakistani wickets still intact, he could well be eyeing an elusive double century.
This has been Younus’ fifth 150+ score after the age of 35 and with the landmark, he has already registered himself among an elite company of legends. With a first innings lead currently of 173, Pakistan will feel that they have a tight grip over this game, and Khan’s knock could well be a match winning one.
Fans on Twitter lauded Khan for his double ton, and below are some of the tweets.
Wohaa double ton by Younis Khan. A monster innings there 👏 #ENGvPAK

204* by YOUNIS KHAN is the highest for Pak #5 or below in Tests outside Asia, surpasses Mohd Yousuf's 203 v NZ, Christchurch, 2001. #ENGvPAK

Younus Khan (38y-258d) 11th oldest batsman to score a 200+ in Test history.
The last 38+ to do so: Shiv Chanderpaul in Nov 2012 #EngvPak— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) August 13, 2016
