Top 10 ODI batsmen from the 90s

#4 Saeed Anwar

Saeed Anwar

Saeed Anwar was Pakistan’s most prolific opening batsman all through the 90s. The elegant southpaw did not move his feet much but was blessed with the gift of timing. The left-hander wasn’t a belligerent hitter but caressed the ball beautifully using his exquisite timing. Anwar looked graceful with his booming drives on the off side. He was quick on his feet and played spin with relative ease.

Anwar had a penchant to score big hundreds and his 194 run knock against India at Chennai is a testimony of the same. Unlike most subcontinent players, Anwar was a good player of seam bowling and did well on overseas tours in Australia. In the mid-90s, he formed a potent opening duo with Aamir Sohail which provided Pakistan with the much-required stability up the order.
