Shan Masood has created history as he has become the first Pakistan captain to hit a Test hundred in South Africa. Masood slammed his sixth Test ton and his first in South Africa during the second Test against the Proteas at Newlands.
The Men in Green were asked to follow on after falling for just 194 in reply to South Africa’s 615. Shan and Babar Azam put up a massive stand of 205 for the opening wicket before the latter fell 19 short of his hundred.
Shan had got to his ton before Babar’s wicket. He has become the first Pakistan captain with a century in South Africa. Before him, Saleem Malik had agonizingly missed out on a hundred in South Africa in 1995 when he was dismissed on 99. Inzamam-ul-Haq had a chance to be the first Pakistani skipper to get a ton in South Africa but missed out on it as he ran out of partners during a Test in 2007.
