Why Hanif Mohammad ranks #61 in Cricket
Hanif Mohammad ranks 61st among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 398th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 96, Longevity 86, Honours 82, 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 1952–1969 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1957, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 3915, test average 43.98, highest test score 337, highest first-class score 499.
Immediately ahead sits Heather Knight on 88.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mahela Jayawardene on 88.3. 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.
