Relive a forgotten gem of cricketing history — the 1988 Karachi Test where Shoaib Mohammad played one of the most composed and disciplined innings ever witnessed on Pakistani soil. Scoring 94 runs off 221 balls in 319 minutes, he became the bedrock of Pakistan’s dominance against Australia. With 15 elegant boundaries and an unforgettable 197-run partnership with Javed Miandad, Shoaib laid the foundation for Pakistan’s towering first innings total of 469/9 declared.
This knock didn’t just frustrate the Aussies — it broke their spirit. Pakistan went on to win by an innings and 188 runs, and Shoaib’s near-century became a symbol of quiet excellence.
Join us as we take a trip down memory lane to celebrate a batting performance built on patience, precision, and pure Test match grit.
🕰️ Let the nostalgia flow. Shoaib Mohammad — a true artist of the crease.
