1. Hanif Mohammad:
Arguably the greatest match-saving knock of all time. Pakistani opener batted for a mammoth 970 minutes to save the Test against West Indies. After being enforced to follow on facing a first-innings deficit of 473 runs, Pakistan were looking well out of the contest.
However, Hanif Mohammad played the longest match-saving innings of all time to salvage a draw. The legendary opener scored 337 runs.
There is an famous story regarding this monumental innings. A West Indian was watching the match from atop a tree. However, he collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital, and when he regained consciousness, he asked “Is Hanif still batting?” Unfortunately, the answer to that question was a yes, and he collapsed again!
