Sharjeel Khan becomes only 6th Pakistan batsman to achieve this record

Left-hand opening batsman Sharjeel Khan has etched his name in the history books after scoring a double century in the ongoing tournament Pakistan Cup.

Sharjeel has continued his stunning form in the Pakistan Cup as he struck a double century, leading Sindh to a 29-run victory against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The importance of Sharjeel's knock is that he has now become only the sixth Pakistani batsman to score a double century in List-A cricket.

He ended his innings with 206 runs from 136 deliveries, which included 19 boundaries and 14 maximums (most sixes by a Pakistan batter in List-A cricket history).

Sharjeel has already scored 56*, 118, and 53* in this season's Pakistan Cup tournament already.

Here's the complete list of players to have achieved the feat before him:

1. Mohammad Ali Niazi - 207 runs (2005)
2. Khalid Latif - 204 runs (2009)
3. Kamran Akmal - 200 (2018)
4. Abid Ali - 209* (2018)
5. Fakhar Zaman - 210* (2018)
6. Sharjeel Khan - 206 (2022)
