  "account": "Piers Morgan lavished praise on Razaullah Khan, recognizing his \"single-handedly restoring some pride to Pakistan cricket\" after a remarkable performance at Edgbaston. At just 21 years old, the young Pakistani batsman made his Test debut at number nine, facing a daunting situation where Pakistan was two runs short of an innings defeat. With Pakistan already trailing by 320 runs in the first innings and teetering on the brink of defeat, Razaullah's performance turned the tide of the game. In his 81-run innings off just 63 balls, the young cricketer smashed nine sixes, breaking records and equaling the feats of cricket legends. Piers Morgan himself could not contain his admiration, declaring the innings \"astonishing\" and applauding Razaullah for bringing some pride back to Pakistan cricket after a string of unfortunate events.",
