Sep 21, 2026, 9:57 AM Razaullah Made Stunning Debut For Pakistan vs EnglandIt is important to note that Razaullah made his Test debut for Pakistan already under pressure. However, he immediately showed that he could make an impact with the ball, dismissing England captain Joe Root with his fourth delivery in Test cricket.He finished with figures of 4/148 from 23 overs after England’s first innings. More importantly, he bowled with aggression and regularly operated around the 140-145 kmph mark.Razaullah’s batting performance then transformed the final stages of the match.Pakistan were 318/8 and still facing the possibility of an innings defeat when Razaullah walked in at No. 9. Instead of defending passively, he attacked England’s bowlers from the start.He smashed 81 runs from only 63 balls, hitting four fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 128.57. With this innings, he made several records; his 9 sixes equalled Tim Southee’s record for the most sixes by a batter on Test debut. Why Razaullah Stood Out As A Bowler Against England?Razaullah’s performance was impressive because he contributed with both bat and ball. He showed genuine pace and the ability to trouble experienced English batters.His aggressive batting also set him apart from a conventional tailender. With the bat, he attacked short and hard-length deliveries rather than simply trying to survive. Against England’s pace attack, he repeatedly cleared the boundary and refused to allow the situation to dictate his approach.For Pakistan, that makes Razaullah an important discovery from an otherwise difficult tour.
