Usman Khawaja creates history with a sensational double tone in Sri Lanka, becomes the first Aussie to …

The veterans opener in Australia Usman Khawa has in shape with his best career during his first first test match against Sri Lanka in Galle. Khawa’s USman scored his maiden double century in a test crice during the first initials at the Galle International Stadium on Thursday, January 30th.

Khawaja silenced critics with a great century in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle. His place on the team was under surveillance after the disappointing Border-Gavaskar series against India, where he only managed to take 184 rides in 10 Ubaci. Some former players suggested that the 38-year-old dough should be withdrawn.

However, Khawaja held his place in a team for a series with two matches and took the opportunity to achieve its 16th. Test century in challenging conditions. He aborted confidence with the much needed large inserts. The left body turned its century into a girl’s double tone in tests.

Continuing on Thursday morning at 2:30, Khawai and Captain Steve Smith continued from the previous day. They put 266 races for the third Wickket, setting up a new record for the highest Australian test partnership on Sri Lanka. Khawaja arrived until a double century with a soft shooting in the covers.

Khawaja has also become only 12. A player in history that has reached a twice a century test of 38 years or older. Shivnarine Chanderpaul (203* in 2012) and Younis Khan (216 in 2016) achieved this feat in the 21st century. Among the Australians, Sir Donald Bradman was the only other dough that did.
