5 batting records that Wasim Akram broke during his 257-run knock against Zimbabwe

#3 Highest individual score as Pakistani captain

The frequency with which Pakistan rotated its Test captains, many Pakistani batsmen would have had a shot at this record. Despite the illustrious names that played and captained Pakistan in the past, it was Wasim Akram who once owned that record.

The captaincy tradition set by Imran Khan was followed by making Wasim Akram the captain of the Test team in 1993. His innings of 257 against Zimbabwe in 1996 broke the record of the highest score by a Pakistani Test captain set previously by Salim Malik – 237 against Australia in 1994.

Akram’s record of 257 was eclipsed by Younis Khan in 2009 against Sri Lanka in Karachi as he crafted a triple century (313 runs). This was the same unfortunate tour where the Sri Lankan team was attacked by the terrorists.
