Yasir Shah joins Imran Khan on the honors board
Pakistan leg spinner Yasir Shah became only the second Pakistani bowler to take 14 wickets in a Test match, sharing the honors alongside Imran Khan, the current Prime Minister of the country. Yasir claimed 14 wickets for 184 runs, as he single handedly dismantled the New Zealand batting line, as Pakistan cruise to a series leveling victory by an innings and 16 runs. The leggie was unsurprisingly awarded the Man of the Match award for his jaw dropping performance. Yasir Shah’s best bowling performance is second only to Imran Khan’s, who claimed 14 wickets for 116 runs against Sri Lanka at Lahore way back in 1982. In other records, the figures of 14/184 are the third-best by any leg-spinner in the history of the game. 1⃣4⃣ wickets in the match!@Shah64Y is the Man of the Match 👏#PAKvNZ pic.twitter.com/VdUs9WhYGu — PCB Official (@TheRealPCB) November 27, 2018 Unsurprisingly, Yasir Shah picks up the Player of the Match of the award for his figures of 14/184.
