Wasim Akram

Fast, pacy and a yorker specialist, Wasim Akram was hailed as one of Pakistan's top left arm pacers right throughout his career. The Pakistan pacer single-handedly tormented many batsmen with his raw pace in addition to his ability to produce the swinging yorkers.

Apart from the swinging thunderbolts, Akram also enjoyed bowling a deceptive slower ball that left opposition batsmen looking like fools. The 'Sultan of Swing' formed an integral part of Pakistan's pace attack ever since his debut and his association with Waqar Younis and the duo's combination took Pakistan cricket to greater heights.

The first bowler to reach 500 ODI wickets, Wasim Akram was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009 for his exemplary performances. The ex-Pakistan skipper slotted into the coach's role for the Kolkata Knight Riders and has also assumed roles in the media since his retirement.
