Why Abdul Qadir ranks #100 in Cricket
Abdul Qadir ranks 100th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 586th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 80, Statistics 94. 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 1975–1993 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1983, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test wickets 236, best innings figures 9, five-wicket hauls 15, odi wickets 132.
Immediately ahead sits Laura Wolvaardt on 86.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is VVS Laxman on 86.7. 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.
