The records that Younus has broken

The man from Mardan has quite a list of achievements

When Pakistan veteran Younus Khan, playing on 99, attempted to sweep Nathan Lyon towards deep square leg, there was only going to be one result.

It is now a whopping 32 times that Younus has now converted a score of 90 into a century.

He is one of the few batsmen who have more centuries than they have half-centuries.

In scoring today's hundred, Younus became the first man to score a century in all 11 nations where Test cricket has been played.



Let’s have a look at all the milestones achieved by Pakistan’s finest Test batsman.

Younus has scored a hundred in and against every Test playing nation.



Younus has made the most centuries for Pakistan across all formats – 41, surpassing Mohammad Yousuf (39) and Inzamamul Haq (35) – with 16 of those coming away from home.

He also tops the list for scoring the most hundreds away from home in a winning cause – 10; the same as Ricky Ponting, while Steve Waugh leads with 13 centuries for Australia.

Younus has the most double hundreds (4) after the age of 35, while the record of the most 150s in the same age bracket is under his belt too – 6.

Younus is often tipped as the best batting partner to have out in the middle – a statement backed by the record of having the most 100-run partnerships (67) in Test history.

When it comes to innings ratio per century (20+ hundreds), Younus is second on the list with 6.059 average — only a certain Sir Don Bradman betters that.

Apart from batting achievements, Younus is known for his excellent slip fielding. He has also taken the most catches (129) for Pakistan across all formats.
