5 memorable Test performances by a Pakistani player in Australia

#3 Imran Khan (6/102 & 6/63) in Sydney, 1977

Imran bowled Pakistan to their maiden victory on Australian soil

Prior to this game, Pakistan had played six Tests in Australia with 4 defeats and 2 draws. Mushtaq Mohammad’s band of merry boys bucked the trend by putting in a comprehensive performance. The decisive blows came from unexpected quarters, well at least until then.

Upon entering the match as a fledgeling medium pacer, Imran Khan broke free and unleashed his full fury with Australia’s middle-order bearing the brunt.

When he picked up six wickets in each innings, Pakistan had not only obtained their maiden Test victory on Australian soil but also witnessed the watershed moment of a man who would go on to define their history.
