The classical batsman, who hailed from Sialkot, was among the best No. 4 batsmen during his era. With 2,572 runs in 62 One-Day Internationals (ODIs), the batter boasted an ODI average of 47.62 along with a strike rate of 80-plus. Although he was among the few batsmen who wore spectacles even while playing, that was no hindrance in scoring runs.
He made a record of scoring three consecutive One-Day International (ODI) hundreds that was later broken by Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara, who smashed four ODI tons in a row. He was an elegant batsman and his rapacity for runs gave him an illustrious tag of ‘Asian Bradman’.
He belonged to the time when batsmen scored at a very slow rate but he chose to be unique and his bold batting in the middle-order would buy him a franchise in the PSL.
