A few Pakistani cricketers continued doing well even when they were close to 40 or had passed that mark
Cricket may be a young man’s game, but for some, it betters with the age. With Mohammad Hafeez turning into the 40s recently, Cricket has become every man’s game instead of just those with fresh legs. However, he is not the first cricketer to continue playing the game at a time when others either move over to non-playing responsibilities or retire from the game altogether. Let’s take a look at some of the Pakistani players who bettered with age, and left the game not because of their performance but because they wanted youngsters to replace them!Misbah-ul-Haq

We know about the major dropped catches like Gibbs dropping Waugh at 99 WC. What about other devestating drops that are less talked about?
In all these 5 knocks, Kohli failed badly to give you an idea of how it wasn t easy.
Other important knocks include his 200 in a decider match (7 match series) against Aus 2013 ODI series, his recent 200 in the 2nd ODI of SL series with the series on line, knocks in CT 2013, CT 2017 and more if I dig around.
With that being said, this doesn t mean Rohit is some kind of clutch performer who can turn it on when the team needs him. The fact is inspite of all these heroics, Rohit doesn t inspire confidence.
