Why Mohammad Azharuddin ranks #156 in Cricket
Mohammad Azharuddin ranks 156th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1190th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 92. 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 1984–2000 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1993, 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 test runs 6215, test centuries 22, odi runs 9378, tests as captain 47.
Immediately ahead sits Jack Blackham on 85.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is David Boon on 85.5. 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.
