Hanif Mohammad

Called the Little Master, Hanif Mohammad was probably the man responsible for making cricket popular in Pakistan. Known for playing the longest Test innings ever, against West Indies, Hanif Mohammad, the proud achiever of 499, the highest first-class score back then, played 55 Tests for Pakistan and scored 3915 runs at 43.98 with 12 centuries and 15 half-centuries.

He was born in Gujarat, India before the Independence of Indian sub-continent. Hanif was also known for ambidexterity with bowling and wicket-keeping talents.
