 In Pakistani cricket lore, Javed Miandad is regarded as a spirit and spunky player. As the street fighter stood firm against rampaging fast bowlers or the flight and dexterity of spinners, the entire nation would be spellbound. The sluggish maestro undoubtedly orchestrated numerous miraculous victories for his nation.

If we go back in time, fans still recall Miandad clouting Chetan Sharma for a six off the final ball in the 1986 Austral-Asia Cup final in Sharjah. There is no sport rivalry like the one between India and Pakistan. It's a sporting event that sends fans all over the world into a frantic frenzy. When Miandad hit the last ball bowled by Chetan in the Austral-Asia Cup final for a six to give his team a huge victory, Pakistan celebrated in unexpected ways and the game became more prominent in the nation's consciousness. On the other hand, Indian fans across the border were in dire straits.

Miandad, who was born on June 12, 1957, always had a strong interest in cricket. For Rs 50, he even agreed to field in games at the Muslim Gymkhana. In addition, his father was a member of the Karachi Cricket Association (KCA), which enabled him to learn from the best cricketers.

The story goes that when Miandad was playing for Karachi against a rival club, he asked the team manager to put him in the lineup with only three balls left and 18 runs needed. The middle-order batsman retired out after the manager gave his approval. Keep in mind that the captain of the setup was the batsman who was forced to retire out! Continuing his boyish adventure, Miandad smashed three sixes.

At the age of 16, Miandad made his first-class debut for Karachi Whites. However, his career didn't exactly get off to the best start. He was troubled by players like Jamal Alvi, Abdur Raqib, and Ijaz Faqih in the BCCP Patron's Trophy from 1973 to 1974.

In the Kardar Summer Shield final against National Bank of Pakistan in 1975, Miandad's broad blade flashed brightly, displaying glimpses of his immense skill. His highest First-Class score, 311, was achieved after a little more than ten hours of play. Abdul Hafeez Kardar, Pakistan's first Test captain, had famously stated that the young prodigy could "turn out to be the player of the decade" by that time.

Miandad was quickly selected for Pakistan's World Cup squad in 1975. Additionally, he was offered a chance to play for Sussex Second XI. It is believed that Pakistan's former opening batsman Sadiq Mohammad discussed Miandad's potential with Sussex captain Tony Grieg. The youngster even won over the cricket experts at Sussex, who signed him up to play for them the following season. In 1976, he topped the County's averages.

In 1976, Miandad was given the opportunity to wear white flannels in the Lahore match against New Zealand. He made his Pakistan Test debut with a typical subcontinental flourish, exploring every nook and cranny of the field to become only the second player since Khalid Ibadulla to score a hundred. Richard Collinge, a left-arm swing bowler, and Richard Hadlee, a young tearaway, led the opposition attack. Miandad became the youngest double centurion in Test cricket history when he scored a double ton in the third Test in Karachi.

Fans all over the world will be filled with boundless joy in the years to come as they witness the street fighter scripting believe-it-or-not victories from times of crisis. Miandad's knock against New Zealand in 1988-89 at Eden Park, Auckland, exemplifies his extraordinary batsmanship. He stopped the New Zealand attack led by Hadlee and scored 271 points with an impregnable defense and crisply executed drives. The score was pretty clean, with the exception of Hadlee missing a tough caught and bowled chance when he was on 66. He even had the nerve to yell at players in opposition. It is believed that during that innings, he turned around and said to New Zealand wicketkeeper Ian Smith, " "This is a nice day. Would be much nicer for you boys at the beach." Miandad also caused the Indian team trouble sleeping. Miandad reached new heights during Pakistan's 1983 Test series. He achieved his highest score in Tests in Hyderabad (Sind) with near-perfect shot selection and decisive footwork. As he remained unbeaten on 280, he was, in a nutshell, a representation of constancy and permanence at the crease.

Naturally, the Austral-Asia Cup final last ball six off Chetan in Sharjah would resonate for generations to come. It demonstrated the great batsman's blinding brilliance. Later, Miandad wrote in his autobiography: "I was certain that [Chetan] Sharma would attempt a yorker and hit my legs," she said. So I chose to stand well forward of the batting wrinkle. My arrangement was to recline, account for me and give it all that I had.\"

He had his minutes against Australia particularly, his stunning 100 years at Adelaide Oval in 1983 was a wonderfully paced innings. He played a precise double ton against Australia in the Karachi Test in 1988 and 1989. He scored 1,329 runs at an average of 51.11 while playing England.

West Indies were the only team he had any trouble with. However, in 1988, he did break a few sterling tons in the Caribbean. Miandad's century in the first Test in Guyana opened the floodgates for Pakistan to experience a rare victory against the formidable West Indies in what turned out to be an epic Test series. In the second Test in Trinidad, he scored a century, helping Pakistan to a draw.

After participating in the Test series against Zimbabwe in 1993–94, Miandad eventually hung up his spiked boots. He tried to get back into the team for the subcontinent-based 1996 World Cup. But by that time, it was abundantly clear that he had become a pale shadow of his former self. It was sad to see a huge part of the game from the other end watching helplessly as his team fell short of defeating India in the quarterfinal in Bangalore. He still holds the record for Pakistani cricketers scoring the most runs in a Test match. He has coached Pakistan's national team a few times since retiring, but without much success.

Without mentioning his tendency to get under the skin of the opposition, no profile of Miandad is complete. He was popularly referred to as the "Karachi terrier." The Dennis Lillee-Miandad incident will undoubtedly not be forgotten quickly.

Miandad attempted to sneak a single while facing Lillee during the 1981-82 Perth Test. However, Lillee got in the way at the non-striker's end. When Lillee kicked Miandad on the knee on his way back to his bowling spot, it got ugly. Miandad, furious, hit Lillee with his bat. It could have gotten worse if the Australian captain Greg Chappell and the umpires hadn't intervened quickly.

During the Packer World Series, he once had the audacity to sledge Ian Chappell, and Chappell became so enraged with it that he finally threw his wicket away by smacking it straight to the mid-on fielder.

On the other hand, he will be remembered by Indian fans for his fight with Kiran More in the 1992 World Cup match at the SCG. Also funny is Miandad's attempt to sledge Merv Hughes during the 1990 Adelaide Test. Miandad declared: "Merv, you are a big, fat bus conductor," Hughes yelled after grabbing Miandad's wicket with a few deliveries remaining. Miandad was a legendary cricketer who instantly captured Pakistan's imagination. "Tickets please!"
