The historic moment came when Indian spinner Manav Suthar bowled the ball outside the off stump and Rahmat attempted to drive it through cover. However, the ball took a thick inside edge and fortunately, the ball missed the leg stump and headed to the fine leg boundary.
With no fielder deployed at fine leg, the ball crossed the boundary line comfortably and Rahmat completed 1,000 Test runs, becoming the first Afghan cricketer to achieve the feat.
