Mushtaq took a good percentage of Pakistan's ODI wickets

One of the greatest spinners in the history of the game, Saqlain Mushtaq’s ODI career lasted from 1995-2003. During this period, Pakistan took 1177 ODI wickets. Saqlain’s career ended prematurely at the age of just 27 but he took 288 of the 1177 ODI wickets (24.47%) from 169 ODIs.

He averaged 21.78 in ODIs and had 6 five-wicket hauls to his name which is the third-most five-wicket hauls for any spinner in ODI history. The off-spinner’s final five-wicket haul of 5/20 against England at Rawalpindi in 2000 is his best figures in ODI cricket.

Saqlain Mushtaq’s career was during a time when Pakistan had their golden era of bowling which had the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi and Mushtaq Ahmed. Yet, the inventor of the doosra managed to take a pretty good percentage of his team’s wickets.
