Former Pakistan captain Urooj Mumtaz praised rising star Razaullah for crafting a "perfect chapter" during his stunning innings of 81 off 63 balls on day three against England at Edgbaston. This performance was pivotal in reviving a struggling Pakistan side, as Razaullah hit nine sixes, matching Tim Southee's record for the most sixes by a Test debutant. His explosive batting helped set Pakistan's total at 449, creating a target of 130 for England.

Razaullah, who had previously played only eight first-class matches, also excelled with the ball, taking four wickets, including that of England's skipper Joe Root. His all-round performance was crucial in pushing the match into a fourth day, especially considering Pakistan was trailing at 318-8 when he entered the crease.

Mumtaz highlighted Razaullah's spirit, especially amid off-field turmoil that led to seven squad changes and the sacking of the head coach before the third Test. He emphasized Razaullah's raw talent and confidence, stating, "He showed the beauty of Pakistan and their raw talent - even he doesn't know what he's capable of!"

After the match, Razaullah expressed his focus on enjoying the game, stating, "I just had to bat... 81 runs is not bad though!"

Mumtaz also commended Mohammad Abbas, who contributed significantly to a 121-run partnership with Razaullah, noting the potential for a miraculous comeback for Pakistan. He concluded that hope remains alive for the team, urging them to believe in their capabilities as they head into day four.
