Why Mushtaq Ahmed ranks #148 in Cricket
Mushtaq Ahmed ranks 148th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1135th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 84, 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 1986–2006 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, 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 world cup titles 1, test wickets 185, first-class wickets 1407, one-day international wickets 161.
Immediately ahead sits Paul Collingwood on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Terry Alderman on 85.7. 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.
