7. Saleem Malik :
Whenever the name of this gifted Pakistani batsmen will be considered, then two things will cross our minds. Firstly, people will get the memory of a prolific run scorer and also the man who thwarted the wrath of the Australian spin wizard: Shane Warne in 1994. Secondly, as the first player in cricket history to get a life ban on charges of match fixing in 2000. Although after 7 years, the life ban was lifted by a lower Pakistani court.
He was a typical wristy Asian batsmen, who was particularly dominating at the square off the wicket. In 283 ODI matches, he scored 7,170 runs at an average of 32 and strike rate of 76. He also amassed 7 centuries and 47 half-centuries.
