- Saeed Anwar – 9 centuries:
Undoubtedly the most stylish Pakistani batsman of all time, Saeed Anwar stands fifth in this elite list. Anwar, who was a mighty fine opener for Pakistan, has 9 centuries in successful chases as he was often the pioneer of his team’s batting back in his era. Anwar, apart from being stylish, was pretty consistent, as out of 61 instances of successful chases, Anwar has 9 centuries, which means a century every 6.8 innings in a successful chase. A batting average of 63.04 in successful chases is yet another instance why Anwar was such an asset for Pakistan to have. In so many ways, Anwar was the oasis in Pakistan’s desert. The fact that Pakistan struggles to chase even mediocre targets today, is solely due to the reason that there has been no able replacement for Anwar.
