Former captain and former Pakistan Cricket Board CEO Majid Khan is the only surviving player who has scored a century before lunch on the first day of a Test match. The other three players were Victor Trumper, Charles Macartney and Don Bradman.
Yesterday, Virender Sehwag missed out on a hundred-before-lunch ton by 13 runs on Day One of the opening Test against New Zealand at Motera, Ahmedabad.
"Sehwag should have done it yesterday," rued the Lahore-based Majid, who scored a quickfire ton against the Kiwis at Karachi in 1976-77.
However, he felt it will not be longu00a0 before the Delhi dasher achieves the feat. "The way Sehwag is playing nowadays, it is not beyond his reach Many records have taken a long time to be broken, but they are meant to be broken and I will not be surprised if my achievement is equalled in future," said Majid.
"There are quite a few players who can score 100 runs before lunch. Shahid Afridi is capable of doing it too, but he is not an opener and does not play Test matches now," he said.
