Relive a forgotten gem from October 1998 as Australia’s elegant left-hander Darren Lehmann crafts a masterful 98 off 180 balls during the First Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. Facing a formidable Pakistani bowling lineup, Lehmann batted for 279 minutes, hitting 11 well-timed boundaries and showing superb technique and temperament.
In a low, turning Rawalpindi pitch, Lehmann countered both pace and spin with finesse, contributing significantly to Australia's dominant innings victory. With a strike rate of 54.44, this innings displayed his calm resilience and intelligent shot selection. Tragically, he fell just 2 runs short of a well-deserved century, dismissed while attempting a sweep against Muhammad Hussain.
This knock may not have ended in triple figures, but it played a vital role in Australia’s commanding win and remains one of Lehmann’s most mature and technically sound innings in Test cricket.
👉 Watch till the end to witness one of the most underrated performances in Test history!
