“Swing Ka Sultan”, Wasim Akram was the bowler every batsman feared facing in the 1990s. The left-handed pacer had an impressive career and troubled many batsmen including the best in the game on account of his pace, swing and bounce.

Akram in 104 Tests, bagged 414 wickets at an average of 23.62. His wicket tally is 14th overall in Test history and highest ever for any left-handed pacer.

Apart from his bowling, Akram was a handy batsman and scored 2898 runs in Test cricket with three centuries and seven half-centuries.

Akram tasted success in ODIs too and is the second highest wicket-taker of all times with 502 wickets in 356 ODIs.
