3) Mudassar Nazar (against India at Faisalabad, 1984)
One of the dullest draws in Test history, this match will be remembered for personal milestones. India won the toss and opted to bat and piled up 500 runs in their 1st innings. Ravi Shastri was the highest scorer with 139 and Sandip Patil also chipped in with 127. The pitch had nothing to offer for the bowlers and the batsmen piled on their agony.
Pakistan responded in an emphatic fashion but they scored too slowly. Mudassar Nazar and Qasim Umar shared a 250 run partnership as the latter went on to score a brilliant double century. With the score at 391/1 and Mudassar Nazar batting on 199 Shivlal Yadav bowled a loopy off break and Nazar went for it but to his utter disbelief he nicked the ball straight to Syed Kirmani and he made no mistake in catching the ball.
Pakistan played out 224 overs in their 1st innings and scored 674/6 before the match ended in a draw.
