Why Younis Khan ranks #29 in Cricket
Younis Khan ranks 29th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 248th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 92, Honours 88, Statistics 94. 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 2000–2017 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2005, which sets the Peak component at 92. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 10099, test centuries 34, test batting average 52, world t20 titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Fred Trueman on 90.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Debbie Hockley on 90.0. 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.
