Indo-Pak combined all-time ODI XI

10. Wasim Akram

The ‘Sultan of Swing’ is one of the greatest and most unique bowlers to have played cricket. Akram had an imposing presence in the 90s and his partnership with Waqar Younis instilled tremors in the hearts of opponents. Presently, he is presenting his opinions on the game by working as a commentator.

Though his career was marred by controversies, he never let it affect his own performances. He was often involved in match-fixing and ball-tampering allegations ultimately leading to permanent banishment from captaincy in 1996. Despite this, he managed to scalp a boatload of wickets and even hattricks.

In his 356 match ODI career, he scalped 502 wickets at an average of 23.53 and economy of 3.9. He also managed to score 3717 runs with 6 fifties to his name. In this playing XI, he will spearhead the pace attack.
