Inzamam-ul-Haq names Pakistan’s greatest batsman of all-time

Former Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq lavished praise on Javed Miandad and termed him as Pakistan’s greatest batsman of all-time. Miandad, a legendary figure in cricket, was a part of the victorious 1992 World Cup-winning side.

Inzamam-ul-Haq on the ‘hero’ of all cricketers

He posted a video on his youtube channel and shed light on the manner in which Miandad transformed the traits of batsmanship. Inzamam also spoke on what made Miandad a big-match player. “I am going to talk about a player who was the hero of all batsmen when I was playing cricket. I am taking about Javed Miandad. He was the best player Pakistan ever produced at least in terms of batting. I have played with him for four to five years as a player and then also as a coach. He had a strong belief in himself which made him so great,” Inzamam said on a YouTube video said.

Miandad represented Pakistan in 124 Tests and 233 ODIs in a career that spanned over 20 years. He scored over 16,000 runs and was the highest run-scorer for his country in the 1992 World Cup. Inzamam, 50, said Miandad never made a fuss about playing in tough situations. He said the legendary cricketer came out with flying colors more often than not.

“I once talked to Mushtaq Mohammad, he told me when they went to Australia when Miandad was a youngster, where batsmen feared going on top of the order Miandad was always eager to go out to bat and had a fearless approach. He would sledge the best bowlers in the world. Usually, bowlers sledged to get batsmen off their rhythm but Miandad turned it around. He was a big match player and rose to every occasion. He didn’t let players know how hard the situation is while playing a calculated knock,” he added.
