Wasim Akram, regarded as one of the best bowlers of all time, was born in 1966 in Lahore. The veteran is known for his impeccable skill of getting the new ball to swing both ways and reverse swing with the old ball. Akram's international cricket career spanned almost two decades. Popularly known as the 'Sultan of swing', the speedster is a role model for many fast bowlers.

He has taken 916 wickets for Pakistan in international cricket - maximum wickets by a bowler for Pakistan across formats.
