WATCH: Oman pacer imitates Shoaib Akhtar’s bowling action; reminded fans of Rawalpindi Express

The former Pakistan speedster remains a fan-favorite across the globe.

Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar, who has the world’s fastest delivery to his name by clocking 161.3 km/h against England during the 2003 World Cup, was capable of scaring even the most accomplished batters.

In a career spanning over 163 ODIs, Akhtar claimed 247 wickets at an impressive average of 24.97. He was lethal with the red ball too as he picked up 178 wickets at 25.69 from 46 Tests, including 12 five-wicket hauls.

Fondly known as the Rawalpindi Express, Shoaib Akhtar called time on his international career following the 2011 World Cup but he remains a fan-favorite across the globe.

Recently, a video of Shoaib’s lookalike, Imran Muhammad, took the internet by storm. In the clip, Imran can be seen testing the batter with a ferocious bouncer.

Not only the similar bowling action but Imran's hairstyle also reminded fans of Akhtar from his early days.

Here are the reactions:

The video is from an old Oman D20 League clash between Azaiba XI and Bousher Busters.
