Sachin Tendulkar had scored 13 centuries in a row playing 32 innings in year 2007. The Pakistani captain is just a century back to reach Sachin’s record, thereby setting a new record in his long batting career. This year in 2013, to surprise, Misbah-ul-Haq stands at rank 2 with the highest scoring batsman. The list is topped by Virat Kohli of India.
Misbah holds run record of 1223 while Kohli has set the record of 1268 runs. The Pakistani player shares higher average run rate than Kohli with the figures as 53.17 and 52.83 respectively.
Misbah-ul-Haq is highly criticized and called ‘King of Tuk Tuk’ due to his slow batting performances. Often, his arrival in the field slows the run rate. Fall of wickets at the crucial stage are often the reasons that his batting capacity is open to criticisms by the media men as well as the cricket experts.
