Why Wasim Raja ranks #148 in Cricket
Wasim Raja ranks 148th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1053rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 74, Statistics 90. 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 1971–1985 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1978, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak 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 2821, test average 36.16, test wickets 51, average against west indies 57.43.
Immediately ahead sits Kane Williamson on 82.4, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Aaqib Javed on 82.1. 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.
