#4 - Majid Khan vs New Zealand, National Stadium, Karachi, 1976
Overshadowed by his legendary relatives like Jahangir Khan (father), Imran Khan, Javed Burki (cousins), Majid Khan has managed to carve a niche for himself in the Test cricket. He remained the only batsman to score a century in the first session of day one for the period of 1931 to 2015.
Pakistan captain Mushtaq Mohammad won the toss and chose to bat first on the placid Karachi track. The opener Majid Khan realizing the golden opportunity launched an attack on the Kiwi bowling that included Richard Collinge, Lance Cairns and Richard Hadlee. By lunch on day one, Majid Khan stood at a historical score of 108* at the National Stadium, Karachi. He was subsequently dismissed for 112 runs. Other batsmen enjoyed the feast too as Javed Miandad and Mushtaq Mohammad registered heavy scores.
Majid Khan later in 1974 achieved another milestone as he became the first Pakistani ODI centurion with this hundred against England at Trent Bridge.
