#4 Teary-eyed Inzamam-ul-Haq bids adieu

The gentle-giant Inzamam-ul-Haq was a legendary batsman and brilliant leader for Pakistan. The epitome of calmness - Inzamam amassed close to nine thousand Test runs and 12 thousand ODI runs - a staggering feat for any batsman.

With his burly figure, Inzamam never had the agility and fitness of a modern-day cricketer but never failed to impress the cricket fans with his batting. With his typical lazy-looking approach to the game, he etched out a special place for himself in the minds of fans. This love and respect for Inzamam were clearly visible in his farewell match.

Inzamam's last ODI match was a World Cup match, against Zimbabwe at Kingston, Jamaica in 2007. He scored a quickfire 37 which included three sixes and two boundaries. The humble legend's long and illustrious ODI career came to an end in an attempt to up the ante - a true team-man.

After he got out, all the Zimbabwean players on the field congratulated him. All the Pakistani players too gave Inzamam a guard of honour which eventually made the big Inzy a bit emotional.

A moment that Pakistani cricket fans would remember forever.
