This year it has happened for the first time that bowlers from a nation have managed toscalp hat tricks in all format of the game.

Mohhamad Shami did it in One-Dayers against Ban, Bumrah in Tests against WI and Chahar again against Ban in T20.

Amazing facts! But How and When did Tendulkar play for Pakistan?

9 Likes

Thank you @Aman for your reply. This is to share the fact of how Sachin Tendulkar played for Pakistan which is interesting to know for all.

Sachin Tendulkar was just a 13-year-old boy when he made his international debut as a fielder. This happened during a practice match between India and Pakistan at the Brabourne Stadium in 1987 where Tendulkar came on the field as a substitute fielder for Pakistan.

Lara’s record could have broken if not for the hurried declaration

What we all can is speculate now!

But chances of Warner breaking Lara’a records are very slim though. Ten times batsmen scored more runs than 335 i.e. Warner’s today score, But only once a batsman could score 400. So it’s a 10 in 1 chance historically.
