2529 runs with seven centuries in 59 international matches so far Wishing a happy birthday to Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq
Began his international career. The 100 against Sri Lanka in the first match made him the second player from Pakistan to reach three points in his first match. He followed that up with an impressive exit from Zimbabwe, where he scored three major goals and became the first player in ODI history to hit four hundred in his first nine games.
A handsome young man, a young man with a distinct note, and an inquisitive man who runs with his voice, the Imam is a vicious collector in the lounge.
The left-handed batsman descends from the largest Pakistani batterist ever, the Imam is very powerful in driving and in the hips. He seems to have faith in his abilities even in times of great distress, even though he is allowed to be tested in really difficult situations or a high level of opposition; he did well unknowingly while being benched in Pakistan’s ODI bad trip to New Zealand in early 2018.
His start in Test cricket did not go unnoticed, although 74 unbeaten innings in the fourth innings of his first game prevented Pakistan from a stunning defeat against Test nation Ireland. In the next two Tests under English conditions, he appeared to be involved in a moving ball - Stuart Broad knocked him out of all three innings, twice shutting down lbw. He has the ability and head level to excel in red cricket, and the upcoming home tour of Australia and New Zealand gives him a great opportunity to make his mark as a long-term opener in both long distances.
Happy birthday Imam ul Haq.
