Rashid Khan scripts history, becomes fastest to massive feat

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan scripted history on his captaincy debut in the one-off Test against Bangladesh at Chattogram, report agencies.

Rashid bagged five wickets on Day 03 to complete his second five-wicket haul in only his third Test to hand Afghanistan a big advantage on Saturday.

Rashid claimed the final wicket to finish with 5-55, as Afghanistan bowled out Bangladesh for 205 runs in the first innings at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

With that Rashid became the 17th captain to achieve the rare feat of picking up a five-for and scoring a fifty on the same Test match. Rashid is the youngest to do so. He had scored an important 51 in Afghanistan's first innings to help the visitors post a good total on board.

Rashid, who is also the youngest skipper in the history of Test cricket, beat Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan to the feat. When Shakib achieved the feat, was 22 years 115 days. Rashid got the feat in 20 years and 352 days.

Only four cricketers in the history of the game have achieved this feat in their debut Test and the elite list includes Imran Khan, Shakib Al Hasan and FS Jackson. None of these captains achieved this feat in the first two innings of the Test, Rashid is the only one to do so.
