Top 10 batsmen against spin bowling in the last four decades

#4 – Younis Khan

Younis Khan’s stellar fourth-innings average stands as a testament to his mettle

One of those guys whose worth is only truly felt when he departs the scene, Younis has been a pillar in Pakistan’s batting lineup throughout his journey. Although he appears to be a jittery starter, the seasoned campaigner gets on top of the opposition once set.

In the fourth-innings, Khan’s average of 60.59 is the best among all those who have over 1000 runs (as of July 14, 2016). With the help of a mighty effective sweep shot, he preys on the frustration of spinners to assert himself.

His 267 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium to set up a series-leveling victory over an Indian team featuring the spin duo of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh was an astounding knock in every sense.
