Arguably the fastest bowler to have ever stepped onto the cricket field, Shoaib Akhtar celebrates his 45th birthday on Thursday (August 13, 2020). Hailed as the Rawalpindi Express, the right-arm speedster used to instil fear in batsmen’s mind with his staggering pace. In fact, his lightning-fast deliveries have also injured many batsmen, forcing them to leave the field. Along with a staggering pace, Akhtar also has a sharp cricketing mind which made him even more lethal. He used the follow the nose and toes policy as the pacer looked to disturb the batsman with a barrage of bouncer before rattling the stumps with a toe-crushing yorker. As the former pacer turns a year older, we’ll look back at some of his best performances.
