Sajid Khan bags more 'Player of the match' awards in Tests than Babar and Shaheen combined

Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan has secured two Player-of-the-Match awards in just nine Test matches. 

This remarkable feat surpasses the achievements of players like Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi, who have only received one Player-of-the-Match award each in their combined 86 Test matches.

Spinner Noman Ali took eight wickets as Pakistan crushed England by 152 runs in the second Test to level the series 1-1 on Friday in Multan.

Noman grabbed 8-46 and Sajid Khan took 2-93 as the pair wrapped up England’s second innings for 144 after the visitors were set a daunting target of 297.

This is Pakistan’s first victory at home in Test cricket since their victory against South Africa back in February 2021.
