Why Misbah-ul-Haq ranks #118 in Cricket
Misbah-ul-Haq ranks 118th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 684th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 82, Statistics 92. 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 1998–2017 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 5222, test wins as captain 26, test centuries 10, test average 46.62.
Immediately ahead sits Anil Kumble on 85.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dane van Niekerk on 85.9. 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.
