Meet Razaullah, 21, the Pakistan debutant who stunned England with record sixes

Razaullah Mashwani, a 21-year-old Pakistani debutant, delivered a record-breaking performance during the final Test match of England's tour in Birmingham, equaling the Test cricket record for most sixes in an innings on debut. Facing an England team that had folded for sub-200 totals for five successive innings, Mashwani's explosive batting helped Pakistan to a memorable victory.

Despite being a quick bowler, Mashwani struggled with the ball, conceding 148 runs for his next three wickets, which included dismissing England captain Joe Root. However, his destructive batting showcased his potential and made him a hero among fans. Standing ovation awaited him as he walked off the field, while he expressed his enjoyment in playing for his country and his belief in himself.
