Looking at the stats of these 4 batsmen, all of them are quite remarkable, but the most outstanding of these 4 are that of younas khan and Muhammad yousaf. Inzamam-ul-Haq figure are quite good as well given that he was in last phases of his career in this decade. Misbah-ul-Haq is also having an incredible record during this decade although he has quite less hundreds than the rest of contenders.

**1. YOUNAS KHAN
- MOHAMMAD YOUSUF
- MISBAH-UL-HAQ **
