While former Pakistan international Imran Nazir was busy stealing the limelight in the President’s Cup One-Day Tournament with an epic 189, his opening partner at Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) Sharjeel Khan — who had scored 194 off 124 balls eight days earlier — was patiently biding his time at the other end.

Pakistan inflicted the fifth-biggest defeat on New Zealand in that Test, winning by a margin of an innings and 324 runs. Karthik Parimal looks back at that momentous occasion for the big man.
