For me it has to be Jahangir Khan, not just because he is a Pakistani but also because he has the greatest record in sports history, even better than Bradman's average of 99. He won 555 consecutive squash matches from 1981 to 1986. During this winning streak he also won the 1982 International Squash Players Association Championship without losing a single point. He has also won the World open 6 times and the British open a record 10 times. he is considered the greatest squash player in history (please note that Squash is an incredibly intense game which has quite a strenuous effect on the human body, so don't take it as a joke).
Jahangir isn't even the best sportsperson in his sport:

As Heather McKay, she completely dominated the sport of women's squash in the 1960s and '70s. She lost only two matches in her entire career (in 1960 and 1962), and was unbeaten in competitive squash matches from 1962 through to 1981, when she retired from active open squash.
