Muhammad Farooq achieved a new record for the most sixes in a single innings in Pakistani first-class cricket. He hit 14 sixes during his dismissal for 163 in the first innings of the second round at Shoaib Akhtar Stadium, Rawalpindi.
Previously, Gul Faraz Khan held the domestic first-class record with 12 sixes against Pakistan Universities in 1976-77.
Farooq has also become the Pakistani batter with the most sixes overall in first-class cricket, surpassing Majid Khan's mark of 13 sixes against Glamorgan in 1967.
