10 individual cricket peaks in recent times

Mohammad Yousuf(2006)

Mohammad Yousuf had been an integral part of Pakistan’s batting line-up from the late 90s onwards, yet he achieved a different level of consistency in the year 2006. He holds the record for scoring the most runs in a calendar year, a small matter of 1788 runs at a Bradmanesque average of 99.33. He garnered nine Test centuries in that period, also a record, and had a high score of 202. He helped Pakistan win the Test series against Englanfd in their own backyard, and scored two centuries against India in their victorious 1-0 campaign.

It is a pity that he had a fall-out with his cricket board, and couldn’t play beyond 2010.
