Mohsin Khan was the first asian batsman to score a Test double century at Lord's. Pakistan won that Test match by 10 wickets.


Mohsin Khan in 1982 and Mohammad Yousuf in 2006 are the only 2 asian batsmen who scored a double hundred at Lord's.

Sitting oustide Spinzers in Defence Karachi, with my mate Saad Shafqat and listening to radio comm describe the moment when he scored those runs to complete his double hundres!

Wasn't he stuck on 199* overnight?

PTV Sports showed the footage, as long as he scored the 200, some guy from the crowd came and put some money in his trousers pocket

He just saw the man and smiled

35 years ago!

That double hundred was also the first at Lord's in 33 years.

For those that watched him, how good was mohsin khan?

Was a shame he left pakistan cricket for films

He played some breathtaking shots in that inning. Such a shame, he left cricket for movies.

A seriously good player. He scored runs in Australia also.

Magnificent opener. Just below Saeed Anwars level.

Should have done far better then he did in his career. Mohsin, with his attacking style provided the perfect foil for the more cautious and defensive Muddy Nazar. Together they formed a strong opening pair. I think getting involved with Reena Roy had a bad effect on Mohsin's Cricketing career with his form rapidly deteriorating. The 200 at Lords was the highlight of his stop-start career.

Where would we be without his clean sweep of England in 2012

 

[Markhor]

Not everyone can be a successful cheerleader coach...

 

[Xoib]

For a batsman who has big scores in uk and Aus he should have had a better career.

I am pretty sure if someone schedules an Interview with MHK to talk about his 200 at Lords, he would most definitely end up talking about that 3-0 against england he masterminded in 2012

 

[MenInG]

This was a truly excellent innings from Mohsin Khan! Still remember it.

 

[MenInG]

Another anniversary of this achievement.

Question is - why did he not end up as a great of Pakistan cricket?
