• Becoming the second batsman to score 10,000 runs in one-day inernationals (behind Sachin Tendulkar)

Inzamam ul-Haq is well-known for his poor running between the wickets (he has been run out 31 times in one-day internationals as of 1999) and his ability to play shots around the ground. He has been described as looking "like a passenger in the field". He averages 49.63 runs per innings in tests and almost 39 runs in one-day internationals with a strike rate of 53.18 and 73.1 respectively (figures current as of 19 September 2004). He is called the best batsmen in the world against pace by Imran Khan. Inzamam is a giant that has a very soft touch for a man of his bulk. He usually bats at bumber three with his sidekick Yousuf Youhana. He is currently the captain of Pakistan. He plays shots all round the wicket, is especially strong off his legs, and unleashes ferocious pulls and lofted drives.
