Younus Khan had made his Pakistan debut in 2003 and was their pillar in times of distress. While the likes of Inzamam Ul Haq, Shahid Afridi, Misbah Ul Haq, and others gathered the limelight, Younis unassumingly carried his job. He was a perfect team man, ready to do whatever his team wanted him to do. He preferred to do his job silently, while cricketers and batters with more flair hogged the headlines.  

He captained the side to the 2009 T20 World Cup win. He was not the most aesthetically pleasing of batters, but when Pakistan needed someone to tough it out in the middle, Younis was the man to step up. The right-hander from Mardan retired in 2017 with over 10,000 runs in 118 Tests and more than 7200 runs in 265 ODIs. He also hit a triple century in Tests and finished with an average of 52.05.
