3 Saeed Anwar

No Pakistani batsman has tormented the Indian team as much as former opener Saeed Anwar and an average of 44.92 across formats is a testament to his capabilities. Anwar batted 54 times against India across the two formats of the game and scored 5 centuries and 9 half-centuries.
However, it needs to be kept in mind that in ODIs, he almost always got Pakistan off to a flier against India and even if he did not score much in the end, his early assault often proved to be the key.
Among his best innings against India, the record-breaking 194 in Chennai and the 188 not out in the Test match in Kolkata that Pakistan won, are the stand-out performances. Even in his very last appearance against India at the 2003 World Cup, he scored a century.
