Legendary former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar was undoubtedly one of the best ever that Pakistan has produced. In his prime, the Rawalpindi Express was a force to be reckoned with. On his day, Akhtar had even the best of batters at his mercy.
In a career filled to the brim with wickets by the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, and many more, there is one player who gave trouble even to the legendary pacer. In a recent interview, Akhtar came forward to reveal that former Indian pacer Lakshmipathy Balaji was one player that he had a lot of trouble dismissing.
“Lakshmipathy Balaji used to be my biggest opponent. He used to hate me like anything, I was all over the place man. I could not get him out,” Shoaib Akhtar said on ‘Wake Up With Sorabh’ (YouTube Channel).
