3.Inzamam-Ul-Haq
A batting great and one of the most important cogs in the Pakistan batting line-up during the 1990’s and 2000’s, Inzamam-Ul-Haq was a much different player to a lot of his contemporaries.
A bulky figure, who stood on the wicket with a chewing gum constant in his mouth, Inzy might have come across as a laidback, almost lackadaisical batsman, but when he decided to go after the bowlers, there were few who could be as lethal as him in the middle.
One of those instances, when he went after the bowling was against New Zealand at the Gadaffi Stadium in 2002, when he took the attack to the cleaners, making 329 runs in an overall score of 643 and help his side eventually win by a margin of an innings and 324 runs.
Inzy got to that score in a mere 436 balls, at a strike-rate of 75, which was not often heard those days in Test cricket and paved the way for a crushing Pakistan win.
However, in the next Test that his side played against Australia, Inzy could not feature in the game since he had to undergo a surgery on a troublesome heel and in his absence, Pakistan lost the game by 41 runs to the Aussies, despite putting a good fight with the bat.
