Test matches between the West Indies and Zimbabwe have generally been one-sided. So it is a welcome change to see a strong performance by a Zimbabwe player.
Sikandar Raza became only the 15th player in all Tests to score two fifty-plus scores and take a fiver in the same Test:
In fact, he and Kallis are the only ones to make two scores of 80+ and take a fiver.
This list include some well-known and not so well-known players. Mankad (256) and Umrigar (228) have scored the most runs here-but in both cases India lost. Faulkner is the only other one here to have scored over 200 runs (when his team won).
There are a few other instances where the player’s team lost. Bhuvaneswar Kumar was the last to achieve this all-round feat, which resulted in a draw.
Sikandar Raza is probably the only Zimbabwe player who was born in Pakistan.
