Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal earned massive praise from the cricket fraternity for his counter-attacking knock against Australia during the Sydney Test. Renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle and former England captain Michael Vaughan lauded Jamal’s remarkable display during the match, highlighting his crucial contribution that helped ease Pakistan’s troubles.
Aamer Jamal scored a half-century, marking a significant achievement, which elevated him to a prestigious list alongside cricketing legends Imran Khan and Wasim Akram as one of the three Pakistani cricketers to score 100+ runs and take 10+ wickets in a Test series in Australia.
Harsha Bhogle, expressing admiration for Jamal’s resilience, posted on X, “I don’t think Aamer Jamal will bat at no 9 too many more times in his career. Got to admire his pluck but also his skill. This determination is what the fans would have wanted to see from their team.”

The third Test witnessed Pakistan being dismissed for 313 on the opening day, with Jamal’s invaluable fifty lower down the order. His partnership with tailender Mir Hamza, an impressive 86-run stand for the last wicket, was instrumental in pushing Pakistan’s total beyond 300 after a shaky start. Jamal’s commanding innings of 82 runs off 97 balls, laced with nine fours and four sixes, showcased his resilience.
As Australia began their response, retiring cricket star David Warner received a heartfelt guard of honor from the Pakistan team, backed by a thunderous applause from the Sydney crowd.
