If there was any match winner in Pakistan cricket except from Inzamam ul Haq it has to be Shoaib Malik. Shoaib Malik was an expert in finishing matches for Pakistan resulting in Pakistan's victories. He would often come in tough situations and win the match with the bat for Pakistan.
In 2008 Shoaib Malik was captain of Pakistan cricket team which won the Kitply cup in Bangladesh defeating India in the final. He also led Pakistan to runners up position in the 2007 inaugural Twenty20 world Cup losing to India in the final. As a player he played an important role in Pakistan's victories in 2009 Twenty20 World Cup and ICC champions trophy in 2017.
In 2021 World Cup of Twenty20 he last played a significant role in Pakistan cricket by helping Pakistan to reach the semi finals of that World Cup. He was never selected to play for Pakistan again after that Twenty20 World cup. His career lasted more than twenty years.
In the end what i would like to say is that given the potential that Shoaib malik had he underachieved somewhat not playing upto his true potential.
