Unstopable Fakhar Zaman Reaches Mile Stone

By

Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman has just become the fastest man to reach 1000 runs in one-day internationals, shaving the earlier mark by a whopping three innings.

He started the fifth and final ODI with 980 runs in 17 innings against his name, and got to the mark when he cut Tendai Chatara for four to get from 17 to 21 on Sunday, 22 July.
That beat the record of 21 innings, held jointly by five batsmen – Zaman’s countrymate Babar Azam the last one to join the club – by three innings, with Zaman getting there in 18 innings.

Zaman, the 28-year-old opening batsman, made his ODI debut just over a year ago, in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, and made an immediate impact, smashing 252 runs in just four innings, including a 106-ball 114 in the final against India, which Pakistan won by 180 runs.
He hasn’t stopped piling on the runs or breaking records.
Zaman's sequence of scores at the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 was 31, 50, 57 and 114

During the course of the ongoing series in Zimbabwe, Zaman had recorded scores of 60, 117*, 43* and 210* prior to the latest innings.
The last was also the first double-century in the format by a cricketer from Pakistan, and only the eighth overall after Rohit Sharma (thrice), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Chris Gayle and Martin Guptill.
Overall, Zaman has three centuries and five half-centuries in the format.

         PLACES NOT TO TRAVEL Written By:Hammad Abbasi. Published By:BESTFORTRAVELLERS Here are the 10 places Fodor’s suggests we avoid. 1. THE GALAPAGOS Ecuador heavily regulates tourism in the Galapagos as part of its environmental conservation policies, but Fodor’s says the islands’ fragile ecosystems remain vulnerable. Growing tourism to the Galapagos Islands could put the environment at risk. 2. THE PLACES THAT DON’T WANT YOU TO VISIT Too many tourists in places like Venice and Amsterdam have resulted in a local backlash against visitors. Fodor’s says we should just stay away. Venice is among Europe’s most touristed destinations. 3. TAJ MAHAL In 2018, the Taj Mahal’s dome will get its first thorough cleaning since the monument was built 369 years ago. A mud paste has been used to clean other parts of the monument, and Fodor’s says “unless your dream Taj Mahal visit involves being photographed standing in front of a mud-caked and be-scaffolded dome, maybe give
