Indo-Pak combined all-time ODI XI

11. Waqar Younis

Forming other part of the deadly Pakistani duo of the 1990s was the seamer from Vehari, Punjab (Pakistan). ‘The Burewala Express’ was one of the most feared bowlers in the world and formed a terrifying partnership with Wasim Akram. Both of them were also referred as ‘The Two W’s’.

Unlike other bowlers of his time, Waqar adopted unconventional methods to trouble the batsmen. Rejecting the trend of bowling fast and short, he bowled full and quick and aimed for the batsmen’s toes. He was also quite effective with the old ball because of his reverse swing.

In his 262 match ODI career, he scalped 416 wickets at an average of 23.84 and an economy of 4.69. These excellent bowling figures also included 13 five-wicket and 14 four-wicket hauls. In this playing XI, he will accompany other half of ‘The Two W’s’ in the pace attack.
