Why Javed Miandad ranks #27 in Cricket
Javed Miandad ranks 27th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 238th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 88, Longevity 90, Honours 82, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 294 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1975–1996 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 8832, test average 52.57, test centuries 23, world cup titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Kumar Sangakkara on 87.1, a gap of 0.6 points. Directly behind is Sunil Gavaskar on 87.3. 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.
