Pakistan v India, 3rd ODI, Lahore
Razzaq's double and Yousuf's struggle

February 13, 2006
When the series began, Mohammad Yousuf needed only 19 to get to 7000 runs in one-day internationals. However, thanks to his wretched form, he required three more innings to get to the landmark. He is currently the fifth-highest run-getter for Pakistan after Inzamam-ul-Haq (11,181), Saeed Anwar (8823), Javed Miandad (7381), and Saleem Malik (7170).
Abdul Razzaq is only the fifth player to achieve the double of 4000 runs and 200 wickets in ODIs. The table below gives the entire list:

Inzamam has lost his wicket to Sachin Tendulkar six times in ODIs. Among the others who have scalped Inzamam the most are Sanath Jayasuriya and Venkatesh Prasad (8 times each), Chaminda Vaas (7 times), and Nathan Astle and Shane Warne (6 times each).
It is not often that India go into a match without a single specialist spinner in the line-up, as they did in this match. The last time this happened against Zimbabwe at Perth in 2003-04.
