Younis Khan’s 10,000-run milestone: Cricket legends congratulate player on Twitter

JAMAICA: Younis Khan was shining batsman at the Sabina Park ground when he reached the 10,000 Test runs milestone on the third day of the rain-affected first Test against West Indies.

The former Pakistan captain had a slow start at first to get to 58 while Babar Azam stroked 72 in dominating a 131-run third-wicket partnership with the veteran batsman to give the tourists the ascendancy into the final session of the day.

Having confirmed this series as the last before he retires from international cricket, 39-year-old played with exaggerated care at the start of his innings.

Former cricket legends took to the micro-blogging website to congratulate Younis Khan on completing the 10,000 Test runs milestone.

Meanwhile, Shehbaz Sharif also congratulated the batsman.
