Shan Masood has a great time with the bat in the ongoing county championship.
The Pakistani batsman is known for his debut season in the county. Not only is he getting runs
with the bat, Masood has also touched a new height with the bat. Where it is impeccable to score
a double century, he has taken himself to a unique height by scoring a double century in two
consecutive innings.
Masood is the only Pakistani batsman to score two consecutive double centuries in English League County. Earlier, no Pakistani batter has scored two consecutive double centuries in the county. The Derbyshire top-order batsman was named in the record book for hitting the 219-run innings against Leicestershire. He spent 408 minutes at the crease playing 268 balls with 26 fours and 1 six.
Earlier, Masood got a chance to bat in an innings against Sussex, which he used very well. He played a career-best 239-run innings in first-class cricket. Masood is the second Pakistani batsman to score a double century in first-class cricket. In 1978, Arshad Parvez scored a century in two consecutive innings in the BCPC Patron Trophy. His two innings were 243 and 236 runs.
Besides, Masood is the second batsman in Asia to score two double centuries in a row in the county. Only one person has been able to show this achievement before him, even 69 years ago. Nawab Iftikhar Uddin became the first Asian batsman to score a double century in two consecutive innings for 231 and 224 for Worcestershire in 1933.
Masood has scored 611 runs in just 4 innings in the ongoing county. The batting average is also 157.75. He debuted at the Lord's County like a dream, and he made 91 and 62 runs in two innings of his debut match. Meanwhile, Masood is also giving the message of returning to the national team through the great performance of the county. He last played a Test in Pakistan's jersey in January 2021. The PCB will surely think anew about this 32-year-old batsman.
