Karachi/ 11 August 2016. Pakistan cricketing legend Hanif Mohammad lost his battle with cancer at the Aga Khan Hospital here on Thursday, confirmed a hospital spokesman.

The 81-year-old was suffering from lung cancer and was shifted to the ventilator a couple of days ago after his health deteriorated.

"Little Master" 
Nicknamed as "Little Master", the cricket legend played the longest innings in Test history - his 970-minute 337 against West Indies in Bridgetown in 1957-58. 

The knock was followed a year later with the highest first-class innings to that point, 499 run out.

The veteran was also named as Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1968.
