The Subcontinent Giants - Best current Asian Test XI

4. Younis Khan (Pakistan):

One of Pakistan’s modern batting greats, Younis Khan is the kind of man who responds best in adversity. The ever-smiling right-hander from Mardan, Pakistan is by every standards a legend when it comes to test cricket.

He recently made three centuries on the trot against the mighty Australians in Abu Dhabi and is the only one to do so. Though he didn’t set the world ablaze with his batting when he initially arrived but, he took giant strides in the years ahead.

Younis’ average of 106 is the highest for any Pakistani batsmen against India. In the 7 Tests that he played since August 2014, against Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand, he amassed 928 runs, which included 5 hundreds and 3 came versus Australia. He also has the most tons by a Pakistan batsman in Tests, going past Inzamam’s 25. Above 100 Tests, more than 9000 runs, a triple ton and an average of almost 54, you can’t ask for anything better.
