Mohammad Yousuf: Stylish and Consistent

Mohammad Yousuf's 52 test streak

An under-stated artist, Mohammad Yousuf was a sight for sore eyes when in full flow. His batting average is second best among Pakistani batsmen after Javed Miandad but for much of his career until 2006, Yousuf was known to plunder mostly on relatively weaker attacks.

But he put all such claims to rest when he had the most amazing calendar year of all when in 2006, he surpassed Viv Richards' 30-year-old record for most runs in a calendar year, scoring runs against attacks of all types and in all conditions. This was in the midst of a 52 test streak where he scored 20 centuries in 84 innings and was averaging 60.70 runs per innings.
