Pakistan batsman Imam-ul-Haq breaks Kapil Dev’s 36-year-old Record

May 16, 2019

Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq broke India’s World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev’s record as he became the youngest-ever batsman to score a 150-plus knock in ODI cricket in England. Kapil Dev had scored an unbeaten 175 at the age of 24 in a 1983 World Cup match against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells.

After 36 years, the 23-year-old scored 151 off 131 balls in third ODI between Pak and England. The top-order batman’s record-breaking knock powered Pakistan to 359 for nine in 50 overs. However, England beat Pakistan by six and take a unbeatable 2-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.
