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 on Thursday (January 19) gave the fans another glimpse of what it is like to face a ferocious yorker from a fast bowler.
Taking to Twitter, the 47-year-old shared a post featuring short clips of his bowling when he scared the batters with his deadly fast yorkers.
In the same video, Akhtar was also seen with an attendant of a bowling machine and asked him to increase the bowling speed to 100 miles per hour(160.9 Kmph) to show the fans how it feels like batting against the high-paced deliveries.
“Tap to see what happens when the speed gets to 100 #RawalpindiExpress,” Shoaib Akhtar captioned the video.
