Pak vs Aus: The most ‘powerful’ picture from Karachi Test
KARACHI: Pakistan-Australia Karachi Test ended in a draw Wednesday, but it provided fans with several moments to cherish.
Babar’s majestic 196-run knock, which included 21 fours and a six, was an inspiration for his team heading into the third and final test in Lahore on Monday.
The much-needed knock was also recognised by the opposing side as they appreciated and clapped for him as he was moving towards the pavilion after Nathan Lyon dismissed him.

Chasing a record 506 for an improbable win, Pakistan’s best bet was to bat out the final day and Babar led by example as they finished on 443-7, the sixth highest fourth innings total of all time.
“The plan was to bat session-by-session and build partnerships,” the Pakistan captain, who was adjudged player-of-the-match said at the presentation ceremony.
“It was a team effort, as others chipped in with useful contributions too.”
“We tried to be positive and play our shots. The team needed this knock, so I tried to bat for as long as I could.”
