Where children learn to walk in two years, there, for five years in Shoaib Akhtar's childhood, he could not walk properly. He had problems with his knees and ankles which prevented him from walking properly. Who knew this guy would have such a problem that he would one day be the fastest bowler in the world!
When he was 14 years old, he could not run properly. But in his mind, knowing everything is a trivial matter, he loved cricket very much and always thought of cricket in his mind. No distraction could stand in the way of his success.
That is the time Pakistan's pace bowler scattered. At that time, Shoaib Akhtar's place to match himself was very slim. Even then no one could stop him. The world saw the speed of his ball.
In the middle of such a difficult time, his opportunity came in 1999. The game was with India. Pakistan was all out for only 185 runs. Chasing this run was very easy for India because at that time some of the best players in the world were playing for India.
But the Indian cricket team was devastated by Shoaib Akhtar's bowling attack. From then on, his good times started. Then Shoaib Akhtar brought one victory after another to the Pakistan team.
Shoaib Akhtar played the fastest ball in history in 2003. The speed of one of his balls rose to 161.3 kph. Bowling at this speed, he became the first fastest bowler in history.
‘Don't be afraid of Shoaib Akhtar's bowling action’, there were fewer batsmen at that time. For one thing, the bowling action was wonderful. I have yet to see a bowler comparable to Shoaib Akhtar's bowling action.
Shoaib Akhtar's last game was in 2011. After retiring from cricket, Shoaib Akhtar appeared on various TV channels at different times. And he has been seen as a commentator on many games.
Shoaib Akhtar is the name of a bowler who is angry with the ball. Whose long run-up would have surprised the batsmen! Shoaib Akhtar's name was on the lips of every visitor in the gallery.
In a real sense, Shoaib Akhtar was an extraordinary person. Shoaib Akhtar is one of the stars of the cricket world.
