SHOAIB AKHTAR REVEALS HIS MOST ‘FEARSOME RIVAL’ AND NO IT IS NOT SACHIN BUT THIS TAMIL NADU PLAYER!

We do not need to talk about the pace of former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar.

At one time, several teams batsmen were a little hesitant to face Akhtar's ball.

Batsmen were scared because of the speed of his ball that was threatening to them.

Indian batsmen, including Sachin and Sehwag, have faced the ball of Shoaib Akhtar, popularly known as the Rawalpindi Express. However, Akhtar has taken their wickets several times.

Rawalpindi Express

Shoaib Akhtar has now opened up about the Tamil Nadu player who keeps hitting his ball fearlessly. Akhtar, along with former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh, spoke in a video. The two then alternately asked a number of questions about the first IPL match in 2008.

Facing Tamil Nadu player

Akhtar asked Harbhajan Singh who was the first player to take the first hat trick in the IPL series. When Harbhajan Singh gave a wrong answer to this, Akhtar gave the correct information as Lakshmipathy Balaji. Following this, Akhtar shared some information about Balaji.

Sachin stumbles too ..

In 2004, the Indian team, which was touring Pakistan, won the one-day series. At the end of the first four matches, the series was tied at 2 - 2. However, the Indian team won the last match and won the series. Speaking about the series, Akhtar said, "Sachin was not comfortable. The entire Indian team couldn’t play me but this one guy, Balaji kept hitting me for sixes batting down the order."

Sixer, fours

Akhtar bowled the last over of the last one-dayer. Balaji's bat was broken when he faced the ball. But in the same over of the Rawalpindi Express, Balaji let a six fly high. In the previous one-dayer, Balaji had hit consecutive fours in Akhtar's over.
