Misbah ul Haq was Pakistan s most successful test captain. Under Misbah ul Haq Pakistan very briefly were ranked No.1 Test team in the world. He won many memorable test series for Pakistan in UAE as Captain. He Captained Pakistan to 3-0 whitewash of England in 2012 when England were the No.1 ranked team in the World. He Captained Pakistan to 2-0 whitewash of Australia in 2014. He captained Pakistan to 2-0 test series win over England in 2015. All these series wins came in UAE which used to be Pakistan's adopted home.
As an ODI captain Misbah was successful but not as successful as he was a test captain. Pakistan defeated India in India's home in the ODI series played in 2012-2013 by a margin of 2-1. This was a tremendous achievement as defeating India in their own backyard is not easy at all. He was the first Pakistani Captain to defeat South Africa in South Africa 2-1 in 2013. He won Pakistan's only the second Asia cup title in 2012 defeating Bangladesh in the final. He captained Pakistan to Asia cup title in 2012 after a long gap of 12 years.
In the end what I would like to say is that Misbah ul Haq was a very shrewd, master strategist and a great Pakistani Captain.
