WATCH: Naseem gets emotional after setting fast-bowling record

Teenage quick bowler Naseem Shah got emotional while dedicating his record performance in the Karachi Test to his parents.

Naseem at 16 years and 307 days became the youngest pacer and the second youngest bowler to take five wickets in a Test innings as he bowled an express spell to finish with 5-31.

Fellow Pakistani and left-arm spinner Nasim-ul-Ghani holds the record and was just four days younger when he completed the feat against the West Indies at Georgetown in a 1957-58 series.

While speaking to media in Karachi, the young pacer couldn’t control his emotions while talking about the tragic demise of his mother when he was on tour in Australia.

“I don’t have words to explain how difficult it was, it is better that I don’t share those feelings with anyone here,” he said. “I had planned this before my debut that I will dedicate my first five-wicket haul to my mother so that she could see me on TV.”

The 16-year-old also credited the Men in Green’s bowling coach for motivating him after a tough outing in the first innings.

“Even in first innings I was bowling according to the plans but unfortunately I couldn’t get wickets, there was a catch dropped off my bowling as well,” he said. “But, I was motivated after Waqar [Younis] told me that great bowlers are those who can make a strong comeback after a poor day in middle.”

The final day began in a dramatic manner when Naseem dismissed Lasit Embuldeniya off the first ball, catching his gloves on the way to wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan.

Naseem then wrapped up the match by trapping Vishwa Fernando with the fifth ball of the next over, triggering jubilation among the Pakistan players who were all playing in their first Test series at home.

It is Pakistan's first series win at home against Sri Lanka since 1992.

The win lifts Pakistan to third in the World Test Championship table with 80 points. Pakistan got 60 points from the win and 20 from the first Test draw.
