Wed Oct 16 10:24:09 UTC 2024: ## New Pakistani Batsman Kamran Ghulam Hits Century in Debut Test Match, Despite Past “Slap” Incident
**Multan, Pakistan:** Kamran Ghulam, a relatively unknown Pakistani batsman, has made a stunning debut in Test cricket, scoring a century in the second Test against England in Multan. This comes after Pakistan replaced their former captain, Babar Azam, with Ghulam in the batting lineup.
Ghulam’s achievement is particularly remarkable as he faced a notoriously difficult pitch. Many fans have already declared him as a worthy replacement for Babar Azam, with some even drawing comparisons to Australian star Steve Smith.
However, an old video has resurfaced showing Ghulam being slapped by Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match.
In the video, Rauf playfully slaps Ghulam on the cheek while celebrating a wicket. The incident, captured during a match where both players were part of the Lahore Qalandars team, appears to be a light-hearted gesture, with both players laughing it off.
The video has sparked discussions about the incident and Ghulam’s journey to becoming a Test cricketer. Some have praised his perseverance and resilience, highlighting that despite facing challenges and perhaps even bullying, he continued to perform and ultimately earned his place in the national team.
This incredible debut performance has solidified Ghulam’s position in the Pakistani team, and he will be a player to watch as the series against England unfolds.
