Usman Khawaja has enjoyed a great run of form in Test cricket in 2022. He has continued his form in the new year too as he scored an unbeaten 195 on stumps of Day 2 of the 3rd Test between Australia and South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground. But then, rain interrupted and the whole Day 3 was washed out. Hoping to force out a result, Aussie Captain Pat Cummins declared the innings and Khawaja didn't have his opportunity to score his maiden Test double hundred. Along with it he achieved an unfortunate record of being the first cricketer to miss a maiden double ton while batting on 190s due to innings declaration.
