Misbahul Haq and Younis Khan have the fifth-highest partnership average -- 69.67 -- among Test pairs who have put on 3,000 runs.

Among batsmen with 20-plus Test centuries, only Sir Donald Bradman, Steven Smith and Matthew Hayden have a better matches-to-hundreds ratio than Younis's 3.44. 

Younis has five centuries in the fourth innings of a Test -- the most by any batsman in history. Arguably his greatest Test innings was when he authored the chase of 377 with an unbeaten 171 against Sri Lanka in Pallekelle in 2015. 

Younis is the first Pakistan batsman to score 10,000 Test runs. He is also one of only five batsmen to have more 100s than 50s among those who have scored at least 2,000 Test runs. 

Far removed from his current reputation as a dour batsman, Misbah was a tape-ball champ in college and was known as one of the cleanest hitters in Pakistan domestic cricket. He reprised that role briefly with the fastest Test fifty in Test cricket -- off 21 balls -- against Australia in 2014. 

Misbah is the most successful Pakistan Test captain with 25 Test wins and 10 Test series victories. 

WHAT THEY SAID

Younis Khan's retirement should not be seen as The End but a Start. Let's give him a role in the PCB & benefit from the treasure of his experience 

--Shoaib Akhtar

Huge respect ... Younis Khan & @captainmisbahpk ... Great players & more importantly Great people.

--Michael Vaughan

Hear hear @MichaelVaughan I agree, a credit to their country Misbah, Younis Khan.
