Top 10 Greatest Pakistani ODI Batsmen of all timeThe Pakistani Test skipper, Misbah has been one of the most talked about players for the country in the recent few years. Sometimes, this man is portrayed in grey shades for his scoop shot which led to Pakistan’s loss in 2007 T-20 World Cup while sometimes people curse him as the so called ‘Villain’ for his slow batting in his nation’s defeat to India in 2011 World Cup Semi-final.

But yet, no one can overturn the fact, that he is the most successful Pakistani captain in Tests ever. He also holds the record for highest average by a Pakistani ODI batsmen, if a minimum of 100 matches are considered. He has been the face of unbreakable consistency and invariable solidity in his 162 match ODI career. He scored 5,122 runs at a healthy average of 43 with a strike rate of 73. He smashed 42 half-centuries without crossing the three figure mark in his career.

Generally, he was criticized for his low strike rate in ODI’s but very few people realized that he was the reason because of which the Pakistani team could post a competitive score on the board.
