\nLAHORE, Mar 23 (APP):Former Pakistan Cricket captain Azhar Ali achieved a rare distinction in his cricket career by reaching his 7,000 Test run on Wednesday during Pakistan’s third and last test against Australia here at the Gadaffi stadium.<\/p>\n

Azhar achieved this milestone by appearing in his test 94 match. He becomes only the fifth Pakistan batsman and 54th in sport to score 7,000 Test-run.<\/p>\n

Azhar joined Pakistan legends Younis Khan (118 Tests, 10,099 runs), Javed Miandad (104 Tests, 8,832), Inzamam-ul-Haq (119, 8,829) and Mohammad Yousuf (90, 7,530).<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old veteran joined the elite list of Pakistan batsmen who have already performed this rare feat by sweeping Australian spinner Nathan Lyon to reach the landmark.<\/p>\n

Azhar posted 78 runs and was caught and bowled by Australia captain Pat Cummins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
