The tallest player to have ever played cricket, as most of you know, is Pakistan‘s Mohammad Irfan. The sight, or thought rather, of him running to the crease and delivering the ball from such a height is intimidating. Leave alone the bouncers and the short-balls, his normal length deliveries also rise up to the chest height for most of the batsmen.

Known as the ‘Burj Khalifa’ of Pakistan, Irfan has played 4 Tests, 60 ODIs and 20 T20Is for his country. While he has done a decent job at the highest level, the injury-prone nature kept him out of the squad. Teams often prepare to face him by getting throwdowns from the specialists standing on a stool. With his run and slight jump, Mohammad Irfan’s hand manages to reach about 8 feet from where he delivers the ball.
