Pakistan’s middle-order batsman Fawad Alam is playing his first Test in his hometown, Karachi, against South Africa.

Despite being out of the national side in recent years, Fawad was always a prolific run-scorer in domestic cricket and Karachi is one of his favourite hunting grounds.

He has a batting average of 71.60 in first-class cricket at the National Stadium in Karachi, which includes 10 centuries.

In the ongoing Test match, he came to bat when his team was in a precarious situation at 27/4. Although the odds were stacked against Pakistan, Fawad played a gritty knock, scoring an unbeaten century, and helped Pakistan get past South Africa’s first-innings total of 220.
