Azhar Ali‘s ability to withstand challenging spells makes him an ideal partner for Cook. Though the likes of Alex Hales and Mohammad Hafeez are more flamboyant with the latter even providing a possible bowling option, the unflinching patience of Pakistan’s ODI captain puts him ahead.

If the situation demands aggression, Ali does not shy away from the duel as evidenced by his 137-ball 103 in Sharjah which masterminded a thrilling chase to level the series against the beguiling Rangana Herath.
