Usain Bolt once said, “When I was really small I loved the Pakistan cricket team. Waqar Younis was one of the greatest bowlers ever, and I was a bowler so I really enjoyed watching him. I was a big Pakistan fan until I got older, when I noticed that I should actually support my home team.” When asked what if there was a match between Pakistan and Windies, Bolt remarked “I would still have supported Pakistan, that’s what I’m saying – when I was little, it was all about Pakistan.” This is the fan following this great speedster from Pakistan had. The bowling pair of Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram is known to bring fears into the mindsets of the batsmen. He was one of the few Pakistani bowlers who have been successful in bowling reverse swing. His method of aiming for the stumps rather than the batsman earned him the best strike rate of any bowler with over 200 Test wickets (until recently). Currently the coach of the Pakistan team, he has successfully helped their bowling emerge as one of the strongest in the world. Waqar has taken 374 wickets in Tests at an average of 23.56.
