Muhammad Yousuf formerly known as Yousuf Youhana when he was a christian is a true Pakistani legend and a Pakistani batting genius. Amongst his list of achievements his achievement a world record of highest tally of runs in a calendar year is the best. Muhammad Yousuf scored 1700 runs in a calendar year in test cricket in 2006 beating another great Viv Richards record.
Muhammad Yousuf was a very elegant batsman and a stylish batsman with sound technique. He rescued Pakistan a number of times from losing positions. In the 2000 Carlton series against India in a match at Brisbane GABBA Pakistan were in a losing position when they were at one stage 70 for 6 Muhammad Yousuf saved Pakistan from that position helped them win the match by 2 wickets chasing the Indian total of 195. Muhammad Yousuf also played a number of memorable innings like his century against India in champions trophy in 2009 which resulted in India's elimination from that tournament.
In the end what I would like to say is that PCB treated Muhammad Yousuf unfairly which caused his early retirement from the sport.
