The England captain is a superstar in world cricket today - the youngest player to score 10,000 Test runs, beating the record held earlier by Sachin Tendulkar. He thrives in England and would look to lead his side with impressive performances at the top.
In 2010, the left-handed opener went about his job with diligence, supporting his skipper Andrew Strauss at the top. The highlight of the tour for him was a 100 in the second innings of the 3rd Test, as he looked to put runs on the board for his team. The runs would go in vain as Pakistan went on to win the game.
Since then, Alastair Cook has gone from strength to strength, affirming his place as one of the best batsmen in the world.
