http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Younis-Khan-c98325 jumps up to number five in Test batsmen rankings – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zahur-Ahmed-c98518 Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.
Younis was named man-of-the-match for his spectacular performance, but credited the entire team for playing competitive cricket over the past few months.
He also appreciated the role of skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, who has been leading the team quite brilliantly in all three formats of the game.
According to Younis, “I will give Misbah 100% marks on his captaincy because he is an educated person and he has the respect of the team. Everybody listens to him and if you want to give him advice he takes it with an open heart.”
On the other hand, Misbah also praised Younis for his consistent contribution in winning matches for the team. The veteran batsman has been one of the best performers for Pakistan in the past decade and is considered to be a real team-man.
He is a Test match specialist and aims to become the most successful player for Pakistan in the format.
Currently, Younis has more than 6000 Test runs with 19 centuries to his credit. He has played only 72 matches, but aims to complete a century.
The 34-year-old earlier revealed, “It's my dream to play 100 Test matches. If I am lucky enough to play 100 Test matches maybe I will be close to [some records].”
The stylish batsman has the ability to play that number of games, considering his form and fitness.
Before scoring a double century against Bangladesh, Younis also hammered a ton in the last Test he played against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. He will look to carry onto the same momentum into the final game of the tour against the minnows and possibly score a third consecutive
hundred.
However, his main test will be to repeat such performances against the world number one Test team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE) at the start of next year.
The first Test of the three match series will start on January 17 in Dubai.
