Social-media user reacting to Razaullah’s debut performance
“Razaullah is the character Pakistan cricket needs right now. From not even scoring 200 runs on the entire England tour to making 400-plus when everyone had written Pakistan off. This is Pakistan cricket for you.”

“I just had to bat; you were the ones who had to enjoy it. I was selecting my shots. I planned to take it longer and deeper. They bowled in my slot, so I was looking to capitalise.”
