KING KHAN!

I don't know of many international captains who would walk out to bat with an over and a bit to go before stumps.

Younis Khan did.

I don't know many international batsmen who would play the reverse sweep regularly in a test innings.

Younis Khan did.

I never thought any batsman will dare to attempt the reverse sweep when on 299.

Younis Khan did.

All those things that Younis did were while facing Murali & Mendis.

That fact just adds another dimension to his achievement.

Till now, 'King Khan' is a title that remained exclusive to one bollywood actor.

Now, Younis Khan deserves it just as much.

Shahrukh Khan might respond by saying "Younis might be the King, but I am the real Badshah", but with all due respect SRK (I am a major fan), Younis has done that not many others have.

1st Pakistani captain to score a triple century, 3rd Pakistani cricketer to score a triple century, and 6th international captain to score a triple century.

KING KHAN!

    I don't watch Cricket, but if what you said is correct -- then I agree, he does deserve that kind of a title.

    Now lets hope that he will be consistent.

    @salman: Younis has been one of the most consistent batsmen for Pakistan recently. It's been him and Yousuf for the most part.

    Salman, as Sledge said Younis has been Pakistan's most consisten batsman for many years now - since 2004/05 atleast.. last year alone he scored 3 tons in ODIs.. taking Pakistan to victories.. in tests in the last 2-3 years he's got scores of 267, 199, 197, and now today's 306 and still going.. in between all those there are atleast 4-5 another centuries..
