Pakistan cricket team veteran Younis Khan maintains a good relationship record books, even at the age of 39. On Thursday, he became the first cricketer ever to score Test centuries in 11 countries.
Younis achieved the feat in 115 Test matches so far. He has scored a total of 34 Test centuries as of now and tops the list of most centuries by a Pakistan cricketer in the test format. Former captain Inzamam Ul-Haq holds the second spot with 24 Test centuries.

The 39-year-old remained not out at 137 runs on the third day of the test.
