His triple century in a day-night Test was a world first, and he remains one of only a handful of batsmen to achieve that feat. He also holds the record for the most runs by a Pakistan batsman in a Test series, with 1,019 runs against Australia in 2016.Though not a multiple award-winner, Ali's longevity and reliability earned him the respect of teammates and opponents. He was a key architect of Pakistan's rise in Test cricket during the 2010s, and his contributions in the 2017 Champions Trophy final helped secure a rare ICC title for his country.

While he did not accumulate major individual honours, his contributions to Pakistan's 2017 Champions Trophy win were widely praised.
