A middle-order batsman, Younis Khan is fearless, as
befits his Pathan ancestry. He plays with a flourish and is
especially strong in the arc from backward point to extra cover. He
is prone to getting down on one knee and driving extravagantly. But
this flamboyance is coupled with grit. His main weaknesses are
playing away from the body and leaving straight balls. Younis was
one of the few batsmen who retained his place in the team after
Pakistan's disastrous World Cup campaign in 2003, but lost it soon
after due to a string of poor scores in the home series against
Bangladesh and South Africa. He came back for the one-day series
against India, but failed to cement a place in the Test side. Younis
also aspires to be a legspinner, but the truth is that he is barely
first-class standard. His fielding, though, is better, and he took a
world-record four catches in one innings as substitute during
Pakistan's demolition of Bangladesh in the 2001-02 Asian Test
Championship. He displayed further versatility by keeping and
winning the Man of the Match award against Zimbabwe in the Paktel
Cup. But it was the tour of India, for which Younis was elevated to
vice-captain, that laid the groundwork for his emergence as a force
in Pakistan cricket. After a horror start to the series he came back
strongly, capping things off with a matchwinning 267 in the final
