Pakistan’s Mohammad Farooq Sets New Record After Hitting 14 Sixes

Pakistan batter Mohammad Farooq delivered a stunning power-hitting performance in domestic cricket, scoring a century during the President’s Trophy Grade I match against Khan Research Laboratories.

The 23-year-old batter struck an impressive 163 runs off just 99 balls, smashing 14 sixes and 11 fours in an attacking innings. Farooq brought up his century from only 67 deliveries, maintaining an aggressive approach throughout his stay at the crease.

His 14 sixes also helped him break a long-standing domestic first-class record. Farooq surpassed Majid Khan’s previous record of 13 sixes in a first-class innings, which had remained untouched for 59 years since being established in 1967.

Farooq’s explosive knock played a key role in his team reaching 476/4 at stumps, giving them a strong platform in the match.

The young batter also continued his excellent recent form. In his previous outing, Farooq scored an unbeaten 107, making this his second consecutive century.

With another impressive hundred and a new record for the most sixes in a first-class innings, Farooq has produced a memorable performance in the ongoing President’s Trophy Grade I competition.
