Saqib Khan and Ghazi Ghori Equal Two Test Records
Pakistan’s debutant fast bowler Saqib Khan and wicketkeeper-batter Ghazi Ghori have matched two major records during the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi.
Both players delivered strong performances in the match. Saqib took seven wickets in an innings, while Ghazi completed six catches behind the stumps.
Saqib Khan Takes Seven Wickets on Test Debut
Saqib Khan took seven wickets for 130 runs in Sri Lanka’s first innings. With this performance, he became the fourth Pakistani bowler to take seven wickets in a single innings on his Test debut.
Before Saqib, three Pakistani bowlers had achieved the same feat. They were Mohammad Zahid, Mohammad Nazir and Abrar Ahmed.
Saqib’s performance also placed him among Pakistan’s leading bowlers on Test debut. His seven-wicket haul gave the team an important boost during the Rawalpindi match.
Ghazi Ghori Takes Six Catches
Wicketkeeper-batter Ghazi Ghori also made his mark in the same innings. He took six catches against Sri Lanka, becoming only the second Pakistani wicketkeeper to achieve this record in a Test innings.
Former Pakistan captain and wicketkeeper Wasim Bari was the first Pakistani to take six catches in a single Test innings.
Ghazi’s performance behind the stumps helped Pakistan dismiss Sri Lankan batters and put pressure on the visitors.

Sarfaraz Ahmed Also Holds an ODI Record
Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has also achieved a similar milestone in One Day International cricket.
During the 2015 Cricket World Cup match against South Africa, Sarfaraz took six catches. With this performance, he matched the record held by former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.
The latest performances by Saqib Khan and Ghazi Ghori have added two notable achievements to Pakistan’s Test cricket record books.
Both players made their Test debuts in the Rawalpindi match against Sri Lanka and made an immediate impact through their performances.
