Mohammad Hafeez
Pakistan v South Africa - ICC Champions TropIn 2012, while being Pakistan's opening batsman in all formats, Hafeez became the number two ranked bowler and all-rounder in both limited over formats. Such immense was his talent in all facets of the game. He came to Pakistan team in their resurrection phase after the 2003 world cup fiasco. Even though the first half of his career has been inconsistent Hafeez started making his significance from the earlier part this decade. Scoring over 12000 runs and taking nearly 250 wickets, Hafeez became a late bloomer for Pakistan. In 2019 world cup he is entrusted with a key role in solidifying the middle order and keeping the opposition batsman dormant for few overs. Hafeez may bid adieu to the international cricket soon and will be remembered as "professor" among cricket aficionados for a long time.
