All-time Indo-Pak greatest Test XI
In Tests, Pakistan lead head-to-head with 12 wins, while India have 9 wins under their belt.
5. Mohammad Yousuf
Mohammad Yousuf is one of the best batsmen Pakistan ever produced and was as solid as a rock in the middle order. Mohammad Yousuf represented Pakistan for 12 years and in that period, he scored 24 centuries and 33 half-centuries for his nation. He was the backbone of Pakistan batting line up and it was always difficult to get him out.
Yousuf had a slow start to his career as he failed to score big for a year or so. However, after that, he found consistency and was a regular member of the Pakistan Cricket Team. In 2007, he broke the world record for most runs scored in a calendar year in test cricket, as he scored 1788 runs and overtook Sir Vivian Richards‘ record of 1710 runs.
In test cricket, Yousuf scored 7530 runs at an average of 52.29, making him a successful batsman in the format. He could bat at any position and usually batted at No.4 and No.5 for Pakistan. Against his arch-enemies, India, Mohammad Yousuf found a lot of success as he scored 1247 runs at an average of 49.88 against India. He would undoubtedly make it to the greatest Indo-Pak Test XI.
