Born on June 12, 1957 in Karachi, Javed Miandad is a world-renowned batsman from 1975 to 1996. He was also the captain of the Pakistan national cricket team.

Whether it was the 1986 Sharjah Six or the 1992 World Cup semi-final and final, who did a great job in Sharjah in 1986 to reach the heights of fame, the Sharjah Cup final match against India? I hit a six on the last ball to give Pakistan a memorable victory.

The legendary batsman also played a key role in the national team’s victory in the 1992 World Cup. He made his Test debut against New Zealand in 1976. A 163-run innings in the first match made him an integral part of the Pakistani middle order.

Javed Mian Dad’s most important honor is that he has participated in 6 Cricket World Cup matches which no cricketer has been able to achieve yet.
