Ranking top 10 No. 4 Test batsmen of all-time

9. Inzamam-ul-Haq

Pakistan’s top run-getter in international cricket with over 20,000 runs across both formats, Inzamam represented the Men in Green from 1992 to 2007. He also captained Pakistan in 30 Tests and had a fairly decent record. He was called the “best batsman in the world against pace” by Imran Khan. That was due to his ability to have so much time on his hands before the ball came on to his bat.

Haq scored 4867 runs in 98 innings at an average of 52.90, with 15 centuries and 21 fifties. This goes to show that he consistently performed for Pakistan, making the number 4 spot his own. He was an excellent timer of the ball and one of the best pullers in the world. He was very consistent away from home as well, averaging over 50 with 2069 runs in 41 innings vs SENA countries batting at that position. This affirms his status as one of the best Test batsmen not just in Pakistan, but also in Asia.

Inzamam’s most valuable performance came against New Zealand in Lahore. He became the 2nd Pakistan batsman after Hanif Mohammad to score a triple ton. It was a dominating performance as Pakistan amassed 643 runs and won the game by an innings and 324 runs. He was a match-winner- his average in won matches is only second to Bradman and Sangakkara.
