Younis Khan’s double century: Younis Khan who is in the twilight of his career was made to dance by England bowlers. He was moving left, right, forward and backwards in a quest to touch the ball with the bat.
It looked like this tour will be a painful one for the veteran but then a phone call from India, an idea from India, really changed his life.
Mohammad Azharuddin, the former Indian skipper, rang Younis Khan to give him tips on how to stay longer at the crease. The results were seen in the next game as Younis went on to score a double century to bid sign off the series in style, probably his last one in England.
He played a phenomenal innings of 218 in the final Test which is probably the best innings of 2016. He was under immense pressure as his mate Misbah-ul-he was in great form and being a senior member, it was more a responsibility for Younis to score some runs and step up to the ranks. In the end, Younis Khan ended the tour on a high note.
