He overtook Pat Cummins ‘s record – the Australia paceman achieved the feat aged 18 years 193 days — to become the youngest to attain the record. He also beat the record held by Enamul Haque Jr, who had bagged five against Zimabwe in 2005 at the age of 18 years and 32 days, to become Bangladesh’s youngest to the feat.
