For establishing a unique record, he received a handsome gift from Fateh Singh Gaekwad, the manager of the Indian cricket team and ex-ruler of Baroda State.

All eyes were upon him that he would do wonders for Pakistan but unfortunately during net practice he broke his finger.Hence losing the golden chance.Many say that the news of his broken finger was just a rumor but  the inside story remains untold till the day.

He continued playing first class cricket and Allied Bank, Karachi, Pakistan National Shipping Corporation, Pakistan Universities, United Bank Limited were the major teams he played for.
