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?
