Shoaib Malik: The New All Rounder on the block from Pakistan

- Karthik Narayan

Over the years, Pakistan has been blessed with so many talented cricketers, especially all rounders. While many of the all rounders in Pakistan were decent medium pace bowlers, who could bat a bit, this young man comes across as a protégé of Saqlain Mushtaq's school of off-spinning, and perhaps the Inzamam school of batting - its Shoaib Malik, the Pakistani cricketer, who has just taken the world by surprise with his performances over the past few months, with the bat, the ball and in the field.

Born on 1st February 1982, in Sialkot, Punjab, this youngster eavesdropped in on Saqlain Mushtaq, one of the best Pakistani off spinners of all time.
