Inzamam-ul-Haq, also known as Inzy, was a Pakistani
cricketer.
He was one of the great cricketers Pakistan has produced. He is the leading run
scorer for Pakistan in One-Day Cricket and second-highest run scorer for
Pakistan in Test cricket, after Javed Miandad.
He was the captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team from 2003 to 2007 and is
considered to be one of the best leaders in Pakistan Cricket history.
By scoring a hundred
against West Indies in June 2005, he kept up a remarkable record of
matchwinning centuries, amongt the best of modern-day batsmen. He is a match
winner player not an individual player like Suchin Tendulkar. All of his
centuries are match winning not for his individual career and records.
He face lot of trouble
some in his career as he was two time given out by not following the rule but
according to rule he is not out. He beat an Indian fan in the ground as he is
calling him as “Aaloo”.
Inzamam rose to fame
in the semi-final of the 1992 Cricket World Cup, in which he scored
60 off 37 balls against a strong New Zealand team. His
strong batting performance also propelled Pakistan to victory in the final of
the 1992 Cricket World Cup. He remained one of
the team's leading batsmen throughout the decade in both Test and ODI cricket. In 2003, he was appointed
captain of the Pakistan team. His tenure as captain ended after Pakistan's
early exit from the 2007 Cricket World Cup. On 5 October 2007,
Inzamam retired from international cricket following the second Test
match against South Africa, falling
three runs short of Javed Miandad as Pakistan's leading run scorer
in Test cricket. Following his retirement, he joined the Indian Cricket League, captaining the Hyderabad
Heroes in the inaugural edition of the Twenty20 competition. In the
ICL's second edition, he captained the Lahore
Badshahs, a team composed entirely of Pakistani cricketers.
Inzamam-ul-Haq is a
prominent member of the Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic missionary
organisation, and remains an influential personality in Pakistan cricket.
