Former Pakistani speedster Wasim Akram on February 28 got cricket fans all over the world excited after he posted a video of a boy bowling with an action similar to his and also swinging the ball in the air on his Twitter handle.
Pakistan has produced excellent fast bowlers throughout the country’s cricket history — Imran Khan, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar and Wasim Akram to name a few.
In the video, a boy can be seen bowling at an impressive speed. Could he just become the next bowling sensation?

Akram, who made his debut in whites in 1985 against New Zealand, represented Pakistan in 104 Tests and picked 414 wickets, including 25 five-wicket and 5 ten-wicket hauls.
Akram is also the only pacer to reach the 500-wicket mark in ODIs. He achieved the feat during the 2003 World Cup.
