Before the Test began, Younis didn't have a ton against Australia and was behind Inzamam-ul-Haq as Pakistan's leading century maker. By the end of the Test, both those stats had changed thanks to his two tons.
The Chennai Super Kings beat the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Champions League T20 final, ending an interesting few weeks on and off the field. It was Chennai's second title, having won it in 2010 too.
