5 batsmen who retired just short of a major landmark in Tests

#4 Inzamam ul Haq - 8,830 runs

Inzamam ul Haq fell just two short of equalling the then Pakistan record of most Test runs

One of Pakistan cricket's finest assets who set the world on fire with a blistering half-century in the 1992 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, Inzamam ul Haq missed out on being his country's then highest run-getter in Test match cricket. In his farewell Test against South Africa at Lahore in 2007, he was dismissed for 3 off 2 balls, stumped while dancing down the wicket to Paul Harris in anticipation of the record held by Javed Miandad.

Inzamam got 8,830 Test runs in a Test career which began in 1992, as a result falling only two short of equalling and three away from beating the feat then held by Miandad, who had 8,832 runs to his name. The current Pakistan record, though, belongs to another former captain, Younis Khan, who retired in 2017 with 10,099 runs.
