pak vs eng kamran ghulam century on test debut at number 4 nawab of pataudi did it 92 years before

There was a lot of uproar when Babar Azam was dropped from the Pakistan team for the second and third Test against England. Kamran Ghulam was brought in the team in his place and he proved himself by scoring a century against England while playing at number 4 in the first innings of the second test.

29 year old Kamran Ghulam scored a century in the very first innings of his debut Test whereas Babar Azam could not do so. Not only this, Kamran Ghulam also became the sixth batsman in the world by batting at number four in the debut test and joined the list of many greats, but the first batsman in the world to score a century while batting at number four in the debut test match was from India and He had done such a miracle 94 years ago.

Against England, Kamran Ghulam played an inning of 118 runs in 224 balls in the first innings of the second Test match in Multan and during this he also did the wonders of hitting one six and 11 fours and this was also his first century in the Test. After this inning, Kamran Akmal became the fourth batsman in the world and also the second player from Pakistan to score a century while playing at number four in the debut test. Before Kamran at number four in the debut test, Salim Malik had played a century for Pakistan in the year 1982.

In the history of Test cricket, he was the first Indian player to score a century while playing at number four in his debut match. Nawab of Pataudi scored a century in the debut test against Australia in 1932 while playing at number four. He did this feat 92 years ago. Gunadappa Vishwanath has also done this amazing work on behalf of India. He scored a century in the debut test against Australia in 1969 while playing at number four.
