Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
In my opinion, the best Captain Pakistan has ever seen … let see, how Mushtaq handled the situation against India chasing target even when Pakistan was one up and just needed draw to win the series.

Mushtaq was recalled as captain for India’s tour of Pakistan in late 1978. The series was won by Pakistan 2-0. In the third Test in Karachi, Pakistan was set a seemingly impossible target of chasing 164 runs in 25 overs on the fifth day.
Though one-up in the series, Mushtaq refused to close shop and decided that his team would attempt to win the Test. He promoted Asif Iqbal to open the batting with Majid Khan. He then sent in young Javed Mianad after Majid fell early.
