My personal favorite had always been Imran Nazir and Saeed Anwar.

Illustrious Career of Saeed Anwar

Saeed Anwar is considered one of the greatest opening batsmen in the history of Pakistani cricket. He made his debut for Pakistan in 1989 and went on to have a long and illustrious career that lasted until 2003.

Anwar was known for his elegant and stylish stroke play, particularly through the off side. He was equally adept at playing both pace and spin bowling and had the ability to score runs quickly when needed.

Anwar’s most famous innings came in 1997, when he scored a record-breaking 194 against India in Chennai. His innings helped Pakistan to a memorable victory and remains one of the greatest individual performances in the history of Pakistani cricket.

Anwar was also a key player in Pakistan’s successful campaigns in the 1992 World Cup and the 1999 World Cup, where he scored a century in the final against Australia. He played in a total of 247 international matches for Pakistan, scoring over 12,000 runs at an average of over 39.
