Why Aaqib Javed ranks #149 in Cricket

Aaqib Javed ranks 149th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1054th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 84, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 297 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1988–1998 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, odi wickets 182, best odi figures 7, test wickets 54.

Immediately ahead sits Wasim Raja on 82.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bill Brown on 81.8. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
