The fastest bowler in the world, Shoaib Akhtar, reminisced playing alongside another legendary pacer, Bret Lee, in an Instagram post.
Australia's Lee was often pegged as a fierce competitor to the "Rawalpindi Express" - both pacers were known as kings of fast bowling in the cricket world.
"It was great playing in the same era as [Brett Lee]," wrote Akhtar. "That healthy competition between us was very positive for both of us."
Other modern-day fast bowlers who came close to matching the speed of Akhtar's spectacular fast bowling include Australia’s Shaun Tait (161.1 km/h), Brett Lee (161.1 km/h), and Mitchell Starc (160.4 km/h). Shoaib Akhtar’s record, however, remains unbroken.
