Is Rehan Ahmed Pakistani: Where is Rehan Ahmed from originally?

Having already registered his name in the history books by becoming the youngest men’s cricketer to have made his Test debut at 18 years and 126 days, Rehan Ahmed’s first chapter of the living dream only became better on Monday.

The leg-spinner scalped a five-wicket haul on debut, during the third day of the ongoing third Test match against Pakistan at the National Stadium in Karachi, to pave way for England’s likely clean sweep in the three-match series.

The teenager returned with bowling figures of 14.5-1-48-5, as Pakistan were bundled out at the score of 216 in 74.5 Overs, handing the visitors a target of 167 runs.

The chase for England yet again began in the familiar emphatic manner, with the opening pair of Ben Duckett (50*) and Zak Crawley (41) smashing 87 runs by the 12th Over.

With the win at sight, England skipper Ben Stokes sent in Ahmed post the fall of Crawley’s wicket, with the bad light threatening to end the day’s play early.

Much to the delight of his skipper and the team, Ahmed smashed a Four the first ball he faced, to as if own the ‘Bazball’ approach. He however, perished at the score of 10 (8), as England require just 55 more runs to win, with 8 wickets and two days of play left.
