Top 5 Number 5s in Tests for Pakistan

#1 Mohammad Yousuf

Mohammad Yousuf

The elegant right-hander made his Test debut for Pakistan in 1998 and quickly became one of the mainstays of the middle-order over the course of the next 12 years. Mohammad Yousuf played in 90 Test matches for Pakistan and batted at number 5 in 52 of those. He went on to become the second most prolific run scorer in the position for Pakistan with an aggregate of 3774 runs.

He was one of the most elegant batsmen in world cricket during his time and in addition to that, he had the drive to score big whenever he strode out to bat. He had the defensive technique to face up to any bowler and in addition that, he was one of the best players of spin in world cricket.

Yousuf was particularly ruthless to anything outside off and was partial towards playing to square or behind square at most times. As a number 5, he averaged an excellent 53.15 and notched up as many as 13 centuries, in addition to 19 half-centuries.
