Took responsibility of almost shattered team after fixing scandal. Carried his team single handedly along with help of Saeed Ajmal and Younis Khan. Batted almost his career when Pak were 30/4. (Cont)
Misbah-ul-Haq may have been Pakistan’s most successful Test captain (26 wins in 56 Tests and 11 draws), a batsman who made his comeback late in his career and won matches for Pakistan, was one of the wisest captains considering the kind of players he had. (Cont)
Misbah, played 75 Tests for Pakistan scoring 5222 runs, most of them in tricky situations. He also played 162 ODIs and 39 T20Is, where he scored 5122 and 788 runs respectively. He even took the team to No. 1 position in Tests. (Cont)
Despite his batting prowess he was widely criticized for his defensive batting style and given a name “tuk-tuk”. Misbah ul Haq stunned everyone after hitting the fastest century and the fastest 50 in the history of cricket. His blazing knock came against Australia in 2014.(cont)
Misbah has an MBA degree and that education impact is reflective in his demeanour and attitude on and off field, a rare characteristic you would see in Pakistani cricketers. (Cont)
Misbah holds the record for being the highest run-getter in ODI cricket among players who haven’t scored a century in ODI. He played 162 ODIS and hit 42 half-centuries with the best score of 96*. (Cont)
He born in a wrong era.Pakistan had a fascination for Afridi who, I believe, was a better bowler than a batsman. Misbah invited unnecessary criticism due to Afridi factor.(cont)
Like Dhoni, Misbah also brought calmness on the field and never really indulged in verbal sledging or bad spirited sportsmanship
A perfect ambassador to the game! (Cont)
