Probably the greatest fast bowler in ODI history, Wasim Akram was a feared figure who could do wonders with the ball in his hands. A frontline bowler, Wasim was often labelled as the king of swing who grabbed 502 wickets in 356 matches which included an impressive number of six five-wicket hauls.

Wasim was a great bowler and world knows it but the king of swing wasn't bad at batting either and his records strongly support our argument. The former Pakistani skipper despite being a tailender scored close to 4,000 runs that included six half-centuries and a high score of 86*. Akram batted with freedom and this care-free approach might be the reason why Wasim got out for a duck a nasty 28 times.

This number does put Wasim on the list of men with most ducks in one-day international cricket. A record that Wasim won't be too proud of but considering his cricketing moments and milestones, it is fair to say this will not hamper his place in the legend books.
