15 Legends who'd have ROCKED the IPL if it was played in their ERA
4. Wasim Akram:
Before telling much about his worth if he were in IPL, let us vividly imaging this. A fast bowler who could swing the ball early on in the innings and take wickets up front. Also, he would have tormented the batsmen with his Yorkers at the death overs. The king of swing bowling was indeed one of the most destructive bowlers of his time. A man with 502 ODI wickets in just 356 matches speaks of the fact that how difficult he was to handle for the batsmen. Also, the variety of swing which he had under his belt would have been priceless alike in the shortest format of the game. Wasim Akram was the first bowler who could swing the ball both ways. As a batsman too, he was pretty handy. As a matter of fact, this “can be considered” bowling all-rounder also holds the record of hitting the second most number of sixes by a Pakistani player in tests with 58 sixes. He used to bat lower down the order and rescued his team from a number of collapses.
