the indifferent attitude of a few top-raking Pakistan Cricket Board officials since the year 2000, he is the only third Pakistani cricketer to have scored 300 or more runs in an innings, and the only one to score a test hundred against each of the 9 test-playing nations and the 12th International player to achieve this magnificent feat.
Younis Khan became Pakistan’s all-time leading Test run-scorer, surpassing the great Javed Miandad’s tally of 8832 runs on the opening day of the first Test against England in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. Younis set the new mark when he reached 20 with a huge six off spinner Moeen Ali, crossing Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq´s tally in one stroke.
In an international cricketing career spanning over 15 years and eight months, Younis is one of the few global cricketers to have retained an average of 50 or more runs per innings at home grounds, away from home and at neutral venues.
Not fewer than 14 of his Test centuries have come away from home and nine have been scored at neutral venues.
Among the five Pakistani cricketers to have 100 Test matches or more and his 30 centuries are the highest number of Test centuries by any Pakistani, he has taken most catches for Pakistan in Test matches (110 catches in 101 appearances) and One Day Internationals (134 catches).
When Younis Khan had scored his 30th Test century (171 not out) against Sri Lanka in third and final Test at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in July 2015, he actually became first batsman in the Test cricket history to score five centuries in the fourth innings of a test match, surpassing the earlier record of four centuries by Messrs Sunil Gavaskar and Ricky Ponting.
With Muhammad Yousuf, the fabulous Younis Khan also holds the record of most runs as partners in Test cricket for Pakistan.And last but not least, among all the Pakistani Test cricketers since 1952, he has scored most number of centuries (6) after attaining the age of 35—-speaking volumes of his physical fitness and mental strength.
