Human nature to overrate the past and undermine the present. So many great players would have definitely crumbled if they had to keep performing in the situation the Pakistan Captain has. The only thing which stops Misbah being considered one of the greatest Pakistan batters is longevity according to doubters, but as captain his longevity has been the 3rd or 4th longest by a Pakistan Captain ever. Much much pressure, expectation and challenges to perform as a captain than as a batsman and he has the best record and performance levels by a Pakistan batting captain. And much harder to perform in a line up where there is not much depth, experience or genuine class around you and a lot of reliance on you as not only a player but as Captain. That's why I rate Captain as one of Pakistan's finest batters, best individually performing batting captain, best ageing player and best Pakistan batter across 3 different formats as an all round player. You will do very well to argue against that.
