KARACHI: Pakistan-Australia Karachi Test ended in a draw Wednesday, but it provided fans with several moments to cherish.

Babar’s majestic 196-run knock, which included 21 fours and a six, was an inspiration for his team heading into the third and final test in Lahore on Monday.

The much-needed knock was also recognised by the opposing side as they appreciated and clapped for him as he was moving towards the pavilion after Nathan Lyon dismissed him.

Here is the most “powerful” picture from the match:

Chasing a record 506 for an improbable win, Pakistan’s best bet was to bat out the final day and Babar led by example as they finished on 443-7, the sixth highest fourth innings total of all time.

“The plan was to bat session-by-session and build partnerships,” the Pakistan captain, who was adjudged player-of-the-match said at the presentation ceremony.

“It was a team effort, as others chipped in with useful contributions too.”

“We tried to be positive and play our shots. The team needed this knock, so I tried to bat for as long as I could.”

Here’s how fans responded to the picture:
