In 2018, Fakhar Zaman scored a historic double century in Pakistan's triumph over Zimbabwe to become the first Pakistani cricketer to go beyond the 200 run-mark in the limited-overs format. The flamboyant batsman is known to score heaps of runs at a relatively fast pace, and is considered one of the brightest prospects in the budding Pakistani team.

His opening stands with Imam-ul-Haq have been key to Pakistan's revival on the international scene. The "Men in Green" look like a lethal unit when Zaman is in form.

Zaman made an impactful Test debut against Australia in 2018 as he scored a total 160 runs across two innings to help Pakistan register a monumental win by a margin of 373 runs. Ardent supporters of Pakistani cricket team were optimistic of their side's chances on their tour of South Africa in the wake of Zaman's impressive Test debut.

However, his inability to cope with South Africa's fast bowlers spelled disappointment for the tourists as they succumbed to a 0-3 series loss. A string of disappointing performances with the bat forced Zaman to sit out of the third Test.
