Pakistan's young pacer Naseem Shah made headlines in the world of cricket as he broke a record during the opening match of the ODI series against New Zealand at the National Bank Cricket Arena in Karachi.

The fast bowler, who had just made his ODI debut a month ago, impressed with his bowling skills as he secured an incredible five-wicket haul against the Blackcaps.

 This performance not only helped Pakistan secure a victory but also saw Naseem become the bowler with the most wickets in the first four ODI matches of his career.

His impressive performance also saw him earn a second consecutive fifer in ODIs after he claimed five wickets during the third match against the Netherlands earlier this month.

Naseem's 15 wickets in his first four ODI matches surpasses the previous record held by Australia's Ryan Harris and Gary Gilmour, who had taken 14 wickets each in their respective first four matches in ODI cricket.

This is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement for the young bowler, and fans are eager to see him continue to break records and make a name for himself in the world of cricket.
