Five Batsmen who devoured Indian Bowling

#2 Younis Khan (Pakistan)

Pakistani batsman Younis Khan was severe against Indian bowling

The political tensions between the two nations have resulted in no India-Pakistan Tests since 2007. However, Younis, who made his Test debut in the year 2000, managed to play nine Tests against India. In these, he has scored 1321 runs at an astronomical average of 88.06 with five centuries.

The Pakistani legend has scored Test centuries in eleven nations, but it is India against whom he had a particular liking. The fact that Younis’ batting average versus India is higher than that against Zimbabwe or Bangladesh proves his affection for the arch-enemies.

The first tour Younis indulged against India was the 2005 tour in India. He failed in the first Test at Mohali as he accumulated only ten runs in two outings. He then scored 147 in the next Test and further improved it with a mammoth score of 267 in the Bangalore Test.

The run-scoring spree continued in the return tour of Pakistan as well with Younus’ three consecutive scores in 2006 being 199, 83 and 194. The run-getter further added another century against India in his account in the 2007 tour. Amazingly his last score versus India was a duck in the Bangalore Test.
