With a fifty in the second ODI, he also set a new world record for the most consecutive 50+ scores (9) in men’s international cricket across all formats.
However, the top-ranked ODI batsman has collected a supporting cast along the road. Imam-ul-Haq is one of them, and he’s been on a tear recently, with seven 50-plus scores in his last seven One-Day Internationals.
