Asif Mujtaba is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on November 4, 1967 in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
In November 1986, Mujtaba was selected to make his Test debut against the mighty WI. With Saleem Malik injured, the selectors preferred Mujtaba, over more experienced Wasim Raja for the job. It was an unenviable job, as the WI pace battery was spearheaded by Malcolm Marshall, the fastest bowler at that time. Alongside him were Courtney Walsh and Tony Gray. Thus, the selectors showed great confidence by giving Mujtaba his debut.
At Sharjah, against SL, in 1993, he scored his career best 113 and shared 171 run partnership with Saeed Anwar. But his two most memorable efforts in One Day Internationals both came against Australia, in Australia. On 2 January 1987, at Perth, Australia batted first, and with Dean Jones smashing 121, the Aussies rattled 271/6 (50 overs). Pakistan started briskly, but lost too many early wickets. When Mujtaba came to bat the Paks were struggling at 129/6, and the game looked over. Yet, Mujtaba changed the course of the match, with a brilliant 60* (off just 56 balls). Showing maturity beyond his years, he shared 3 partnerships, 53 with Manzoor Elahi (48), 53 more with WK Saleem Yousuf (31), and 43 with Wasim Akram, to take Pakistan to a 1 wicket victory. He was judged the Man of the Match.
