Shan Masood’s stupendous century against South Africa in the ongoing second Test at Cape Town not only made history but also sparked an emotional moment in the stands. As the Pakistan captain batted in the 80s and then the 90s, his wife, seated in the stadium, was visibly nervous. With her hands folded in prayer, she watched anxiously as her husband edged closer to a historic achievement.
A Nervous Wait Ends in Celebration
Shan Masood was playing an important knock after Pakistan was forced to follow on following a heavy first-innings collapse. Pakistan’s reply to South Africa’s mammoth 615 saw Masood and Babar Azam forming a solid opening partnership, adding 205 runs for the first wicket. While Babar fell just 19 runs short of his century, Masood continued to press on and reached his milestone first, completing his century before Babar’s dismissal.
As soon as Shan brought up his century, his wife stood up from her seat, her face beaming with joy. She clapped enthusiastically, celebrating her husband’s historic achievement. The entire Pakistan dressing room erupted in joy as they celebrated Shan’s incredible feat.
A Historic Achievement for Pakistan Captain
Shan Masood became the first-ever Pakistan captain to score a Test century in South Africa. His century was his sixth in Test cricket and his first against the Proteas.
The achievement holds special significance, as it is a historic first for Pakistan’s captaincy. Notably, Saleem Malik had been dismissed for 99 in 1995, agonizingly missing out on a century, while Inzamam-ul-Haq also came close but was left stranded due to a lack of partners in 2007. Shan’s century was a long-awaited milestone that Pakistan had been hoping for.
