Hanif Mohammad's 499 — Run Out Going for 500, Karachi 1959
Karachi vs Bahawalpur
1959-01-11
On 11 January 1959, Hanif Mohammad scored 499 for Karachi against Bahawalpur in a Quaid-e-Azam Trophy semi-final, surpassing Don Bradman's first-class record of 452 not out. He was run out attempting his 500th run after a scoreboard miscount left him believing he was on 496 with two balls remaining; the record stood for 35 years until Brian Lara's 501 in 1994.
