Surely since 2011, Usman Khawaja has been the best man for Australia to curb their red-ball problems. Right from his debut, the batter had replaced injured Ricky Ponting in the home 2011 Ashes. Following that, when Michael Clarke and Chris Rogers had retired, another opportunity was provided to the southpaw. Even recently when Travis Head was away, Khawaja seemed to be the answer for Australia.

However, though the 35-year old is not an established entity, he again was perceived to be the senior-most player of the team especially during Smith and Warner’s absence in 2018. Specifically, during that opening, Khawaja had made many valuable contributions including the match-saving hundred against PAK in the UAE.

In terms of his records, Khawaja doesn’t even seem to get affected by his multiple omissions and comebacks. From his 45 Test games, a tally of 3125 runs has been aggregated at a commendable average of 43.40. Overall by possessing such impressive numbers, Khawaja appears to be a lot more underrated especially by the Aussie selection panel.
