Widely considered as Pakistan's greatest batsman of all time, and the ICON, Javed Miandad started his career in the year '75. This legendary career would span over 21 years and 6 world cups, winning one in '92.
Often regarded as Pakistan's greatest offbreak bowler, Saqlain Mushtaq quite literally took the cricketing world by storm. It is no surprise that Saqlain, the inventor of Doosra, holds the record of having the most international wickets after playing 75 matches with 146 wickets.
75 is a number greatly synonymous to Younis Khan. A World T20I winning captain and the highest run scorer in Tests for Pakistan, Younis sported the number 75 on his back with great pride.

Pakistan's most successful Test cricket captain, Misbah ul Haq, is a player celebrated across Pakistan. A legendary career which came to a befitting end in early 2017, spanned across 75 international Test matches.
In a much-awaited afternoon in the deserts of Sharjah, Sri Lanka was caught by surprise as @SAfridiOfficial took over the sinking Pakistani ship which had collapsed to 71/5.He was the lone warrior as he scored 75 in the process & later on, took a 5fer in winning cause.
Our skipper Sarfaraz Ahmad & @iamamirofficial set up a memorable partnership worth 75 runs, with all odds against them. This valiant effort led Pakistan to a 3 wicket win against Sri Lanka, in what was a virtual quarter-final of the Champions Trophy 2017 - which we won later on.
Pakistan's Skipper and the world's most prized batsman rn, Babar Azam is achieving greatness by every passing minute.Among the many achievements he has stamped his name upon,is the the feat of scoring the second most runs by an international cricketer after their first 75 matches
