Inzamam-ul-Haq is a retired Pakistani cricketer, and a former captain of the Pakistan national cricket team.[2] He scored centuries (100 or more runs in an innings) in Test matches and One Day International (ODI) matches on 25 and 10 occasions respectively during his international career.[3][4] Inzamam played 120 Test matches for Pakistan and scored 8,820 runs. He is the third-highest run scorer for Pakistan in Test cricket, after Younis Khan and Javed Miandad.

Inzamam-ul-Haq held the record for most centuries in Tests for Pakistan till 2014.[1]

Inzamam made his Test debut against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, in June 1992.[7] His first Test century came a year later against the West Indies at Antigua Recreation Ground, St John's, Antigua.[8] His score of 329, against New Zealand at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, in May 2002, is the second-highest total by a Pakistan batsman in Test cricket and the fifteenth-highest overall.[9][10] He also scored a century in his 100th Test match, becoming only the fifth player to do so.[11][note 1] Inzamam made a century in each innings of the second Test match of England's tour of Pakistan in 2005–06, to become Pakistan's leading century-maker with 24 centuries, breaking Miandad's record.[12][note 2] His 119 against India during the second Test of the home series in January 2006 made him the tenth player to score 25 or more centuries in Test cricket.[13] Inzamam scored Test centuries at 18 cricket grounds, including 13 at venues outside Pakistan.[14][15] As of January 2019, he is joint twentieth (with Virat Kohli) among players with most hundreds in Test cricket.[1]

Having made his ODI debut in November 1991 against the West Indies at the Gaddafi Stadium, Inzamam achieved his first ODI century a year later against Sri Lanka at the Multan Cricket Stadium.[16] In ODI matches, Inzamam is fifth in the all-time list of highest-run scorers, with 11,739 runs from 378 matches,[17] though he has the fewest centuries of the top ten players on that list.[17] His highest ODI score of 137 not out came against New Zealand at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium, in 1994.[4][18] Inzamam played his only Twenty 20 International match against England at the County Cricket Ground, Bristol, during the 2006 series between the two teams. He never scored a century in the format.[19] As of January 2019, he ranks joint twenty-fifth among players with most hundreds in international cricket.[20][note 3]
