Opening batsman Fakhar Zaman on Friday became the first Pakistani batsman to score double century in one-day international. He achieved his remarkable goal during the fourth ODI against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Friday. Zaman also became the fastest batsman in ODI history to complete 1000 runs, beating Viv Richards, Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Quinton de Kock to grab the top spot on the list.

Along with Imam-ul-Haq, he also broke the all-time opening partnership in ODI history. Zaman and Imam formed a huge 304-run opening stand before latter was dismissed by Wellington Masakadza. So far, the Pakistani team has broken 10 records in the Pakistan-Zimbabwe series. We have high hopes for Fakhar Zaman, and pray that he keeps breaking all other records.
