Cricketing career
The ever-smiling right hander from Mardan, Younis Khan came into the Pakistani side in an ODI game against Sri Lanka in 2000. His Test debut, came in the same series and turned out to be a memorable one, as he scored a fighting century in the second innings, which unfortunately ended in a losing cause.
His average of 106 is the highest for any Pakistani batsmen against India.

Younis first led Pakistan in a disastrous series against the West Indies in 2005, but also had his good times as he captained Pakistan to a win against India in Karachi the next year.
He led Pakistan to a title victory in the 2009 T20 World Cup.
He also went on to represent Pakistan in the 2011 World Cup, and remains a permanent fixture in both the ODI and Test squads.
He also has the most tons by a Pakistan batsman in Tests, going past Inzamam’s 25.
He announced his ODI retirement in November 2015 after having announced his T20I retirement in 2009.
Younis Khan is the only Pakistan player to score 10,000+ Test runs. (10099 runs & 34 hundreds – both the most for Pakistan in Tests)
