Jansher is the Maradona of squash. In Egypt we have a lot of respect for him. He is an inspiration. Each shot is a piece of art. Truly great legend of the game.
Jansher is literally walking on the court. He is always at the right spot before the ball reach front wall. He read player shots even before making it.. Great..
The great thing about this video(and there should be more of them) is it's a compilation of one guy winning rally's.Therefore you know exactly who to keep an eye on from the start of each clip, thereby watching how he sets up each one to be a winner.Also an awesome video of an awesome squash player.Much love and thanks for sharing.
hey zeehsan i really appreciate your effort in uploading these wonderful vidz...jansher in w/out doubt remains THE KING OF SQUASH...and those fools who think that modern players can beat him should consider the fact that in the beginning even after he started his professional squash he had no RICH SPONSORSHIPS from big corporations unlike these modern players and the kind of equipment and stuff, it was his pure HARD TRAINING AND HIS EXTRAORDINARY techniques that he is still rememberes as "KING"
This is amazing as he turns bad positions on the court to attack and wear the opponent down. He is floating the ball down the lines then killing at the front. His touch and deception is awesome.
I appreciate your comments. I am from the USA. There is no squash on the major networks. I hear that squash will sometimes show up on the Tennis Channel. How would one know when squash will show up on the channel.. In my hometown, squash is only played in a few wealthy clubs with few courts. Also, there are practically no women participation in the sport, and little junior participation. In contrast, there are hundreds and hundreds of tennis courts. How do think squash can grow in USA.
i knew him personally. my dad was his best frend. that is why i am number one squash player in the whole of europe when i went to the squash championships in london and i won the final against henry goodfellow. he was gd. i beet him 9-7,12-14, and 17-15
For the last few months after I had started watching him closely, I have to admit, he was overall a better package than Jahangir.....he was exceptional, treating players like minnows, they are running around him like fools😂😂 what a legend, I am short of words for him.
Doesnt get much better than Jansher. The only non-Pakistani player that ever came close to that kind of class was Peter Nicol. Khan vs. Nicol were some of the greatest battles in the history of the game (barring Jahangir vs Jansher of course). Love Jansher (almost as much as Jahangir :)
@funlovingmonkey Umm. Yes you obviously can compare Federer to Khan. Both amazing champions and Federer may well be on his way to becoming a pretty much undisputed goat of his sport. He is probably the greatest shotmaker tennis ever produced and not only does he have vast attacking flair but is also incredible in defense and at the very least very good in all other aspects of his play. Tennis is also a more global sport. Much respect to Jahangir, Jansher and Roger.
IMO, Khan was much more dominant in Squash that RF is/was in Tennis. RF is/was great the number one player in the world, more Grand Slams than any other player, but Khan was just completely dominant. Imagine RF winning the all the majors every year for years.
@icecandyboy5183 in squash its perfectly acceptable to break your wrist, in tennis thats like breaking a cardinal rule. I played Squash for 4 years competitively and tennis in the spring, when tennis season rolled around it took me almost a month to get back into the swing of tennis, I felt like I was tapping the ball along, where as in squash the mixture of light pushes and slams is far more prevalent, also its rather hard to try and whip a tennis racket at the speed of squash racket =p
I just started playing squash I am a 11 I've been playing tennis for like 5 years, how much of a advantage will this give me in squash, and like what should I change? please help (:
Actually Jansher was at his best in the 90' and won his last British open in '97. He beat players like Power and Nicol, which beat players like Greg and Karim so i'm not totally convinced Ramy would beat a 25 year old Jansher today... I mean... training equipment? Those guys where strong! Lower body strengt of guys like Barada and Dittmar. DIfferent training methods sure, but they where amazingly fit.
@MJtheKandyman I found that in both sports you spin the ball alot. In tennis spin help keeping the ball in court and in squash it helped fooling the opponent into thinking your gonna play some other shot.
@icecandyboy5183 I was number 1 in my area in both Scuash, tennis and badminton. I would say, badminton affects your tennis more than Scuash especially your backhand. Because you use the wrist in Badminton and the whole arm in tennis, and scuash shots you use your arm like a whip action.
Like the music. Does it originate from Pakistan? Either way it beats the crap the bus drivers play way too loud on their beat-up radios on the Karakoram Highway! Jahangir Khan, Jansher Khan, Geoff Hunt and probably Hashim Khan - the four greatest squash players of all time. Arguing the order is probably pointless.
@ghp1974 In terms of style though, although Jansher did become more aggressive, from the outset of Federer's prime he was a whirlwind on attack; his forehand was completely and utterly destructive. I'm not sure Squash has seen its equivalent in terms of style of Federer yet. I think it's fair to say Jahangir, Jansher and Federer all have their own unique manners of playing their racket sport.
If you have played both tennis and squash, tennis is infinately more difficult to play, the ball control is much harder to achieve. For someone to dominate tennis the way Khan did squash is probably impossible. There are many more tennis players out there that compete seriously, the stakes are higher, and tennis is more popular, so the level of competition is always going to be higher thus making it harder to be the absolute best for so long.
i suspect if you were a student of squash and played well enough would recognize that gameplay of a G.O.A.T. tends to stand out.Its in his footwork, ball control and in many case what look unorthodox is just deception.
@TheMRTJH opponents getting in our way or running into you. With Squash you sometimes have to think how to prevent someone from running over you. You dont have that in tennis
@kckcmctcrc History has shown it is far harder to be utterly dominant in tennis. It is a deeper sport and a more global sport. This is pretty hard to refute. It is better to judge relatively to the sport at hand. Federer relatively has an equally dominating set of accomplishments to Jansher. Squash experienced 3 consecutive periods of mega mega dominance which you just don't get in tennis; Geoff Hunt, Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan. Apples and Oranges.
@ghp1974 Yep, both could/can pull out more or less any possible shot in their respective sports and both have won the most prestigious tournaments in their sports numerous times. Also, both hold claims to being the greatest in their own sport.
@icecandyboy5183 ive seen a squash pro hitting some good balls at tennis .. i guess if u got a bit talent, u can play badminton, table tennis, squash and tennis very well! its no problem for me to play badminton after 4 weeks squash only for example... greetz
That was Jahangir Khan, not Jansher Khan. Jansher Khan was second to only him. Btw, the story of Hashim Khan exceeds these two. They both won their first titles at the age of 17, Hashim won his first title at the age of 36. It was his debut title. Continued to win consecutive titles for like, 8 years. He got this late into the game because he was just a ball boy and had to drop out of school at a young age to work.
@kckcmctcrc Other obvious points you overlook are how homogenized squash is. Tennis players deal with different surfaces, trying to win every single major for several years is simply too difficult. All majors won in one year has only been done 3 times. Squash vs tennis = two different sports. Your argument is currently illogical.

Our squash is no more
@MuhammadTahir-ot5kg Unfortunately so. The same thing has happened in field hockey.
Jansher is literally walking on the court. He is always at the right spot before the ball reach front wall. He read player shots even before making it.. Great..
Sickest player I've ever seen. I've looked at all the big names from the past in vids... he is the best player I've seen to date.
He would have been a nightmare to play..........mr bendy knows where the balls going....so quick.....a great great player.
indeed
Looks like he is dancing. The stamina and finesse of Khan is just mind blowing.
The great thing about this video(and there should be more of them) is it's a compilation of one guy winning rally's.Therefore you know exactly who to keep an eye on from the start of each clip, thereby watching how he sets up each one to be a winner.Also an awesome video of an awesome squash player.Much love and thanks for sharing.
very inspiring! Khan is absolutly one of the best.
He is sooooo chill when playing!! Amazing player!
Geeez, i swear that court is half the size of the one in which we play. This guy is everywhere.
we pakistani should be proud of this legend...shame on us we look at cricket n we never win
legend

the guy is a true legend....
and reinventing the sport, and having his children become incredible squash pros in their own right.
Respect from INDIA!

i like JANSHER KHAN so much.he is our hero.he was a great champion.sulute to the great khan
great video! jansher is the best. he is such a smooth player who has every trick in the bag. fun to watch.
i knew him personally. my dad was his best frend. that is why i am number one squash player in the whole of europe when i went to the squash championships in london and i won the final against henry goodfellow. he was gd. i beet him 9-7,12-14, and 17-15
"he is so confident in his ball control, continually reduces his opponents options"
This IS Jansher Khan : Enough said. (Full stop)
I wonder why no one has copied his economical footwork? Most pros today move around the court quite differently . I am trying to copy his footwork...
wow just wow
JK was unreal a master tactician. I am convinced the guy had eyes at the back of his head.
Terrific clip... Thanks once more, Zeeshaan...
He is the GOAT. Even at the end of his career he was giving such a hard time to the players who were at there prime, he was out of shape.
true stories 😊
For the last few months after I had started watching him closely, I have to admit, he was overall a better package than Jahangir.....he was exceptional, treating players like minnows, they are running around him like fools😂😂 what a legend, I am short of words for him.

@zeyshaan Squash is deffinately the toughest racket sport.
Squash also has the most heart attack victims of all the raquet sports.
some of his shoots are amazing..call ii in why don't yer..it's totally epic..
i loved the music
great player
Jansher the best jhatka the game of squash has ever seen
Holy crap,epic shoots
tHE GUY WAS A GENIOUS, EVEN i NEVER BET HIM
@Oxygene13
Actually there are different variables affecting squash e.g, temp of court, court surface (plastic or wood), humidity.
khan is a legend
excellent vid and nice music

Much respect to Jahangir, Jansher and Roger.
You misunderstood zeyshaan's comment.
He´s simply comparing the difference in magnitude concerning publicity between the two sports.
All started because of Hashim Khan. Crazy to think about how one man made that big of leap in the world.
love you king khan.
Very nice work on the sound, if you have a link to an .mp3 version I could download it would be greatly appreciated!
Anyone know the name of the song in this video? It's very catchy and fitting.
IMO, Khan was much more dominant in Squash that RF is/was in Tennis. RF is/was great the number one player in the world, more Grand Slams than any other player, but Khan was just completely dominant.

Where I can find this music?
we proud of you
I just started playing squash I am a 11 I've been playing tennis for like 5 years, how much of a advantage will this give me in squash, and like what should I change? please help (:
I love that movement at 5:06
did u happen to watch the match between jansher and jahangir in egypt i think... and it went 200 shots

Hahaha😂treating pkayers like kids, running around him like fools, what a talent he was👏👏
impressive
how the hell does he make it look so easy?
the best comment

Excellent points.
khan's the best
Hey whats the name of this song? its great.
very good video, i play squash as well. this guy looks like he DOMINATED squash

@pokeywoop never played squash, huh?
@Pakman12344 or very good hearing that could pinpoint the opponents position.

this is a squash vid.......jehangir khan played squash not tennis....lol....where did tennis come into the picture buddy?
@icecandyboy5183 your're right but in this case a tennis player could only be good at drop shots
@icecandyboy5183
ive seen a squash pro hitting some good balls at tennis .. i guess if u got a bit talent, u can play badminton, table tennis, squash and tennis very well! its no problem for me to play badminton after 4 weeks squash only for example...
greetz
@brapsssssss he has got a bad score but he still was a much better player....in 1997 when he was 27 he beat power 3-0......did not lose a game
@kckcmctcrc
555 consecutive victories... ^^
That was Jahangir Khan, not Jansher Khan. Jansher Khan was second to only him. Btw, the story of Hashim Khan exceeds these two.
