Shoaib Akhtar reveals the bravest batsman he bowled to. He is an indian
One of the terrorizing fast bowlers in the world cricket is Shoaib Akhtar. The man from Rawalpindi used to intimidate batsmen with his sheer pace during his playing days. He is one bowler who could instill fear into any opposition batsman. During his playing days, he had the chance to rattle the stumps of many legends of the game.
Pakistan is a country that has always produced quality fast bowlers with the likes of Sarfraz Nawaz, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and the list goes one. The Rawalpindi express in Shoaib Akhtar is one of them.
Shoaib Akhtar names Sourav Ganguly as the bravest batsman!
The former Indian captain and the current BCCI president in Saurav Ganguly is known for his aggressive intent as a captain and a strong character who took over as the captain of the Indian team when they were in deep crisis. The prince of Bengal had his fare shares of trouble facing short pitch deliveries but the batsman never shied away from the challenge.
Shoaib Akhtar in his recent interview confirmed that Sourav Ganguly was the bravest batsman that he bowled to.
People used to say that he was scared to face fast bowling, he was afraid to face me. I think all of that was rubbish. Sourav Ganguly was the bravest batsman, the only opener who could face me with the new ball. He knew, he didn’t have the shots, I also targeted him by bowling at his chest but he never backed away, and still scored runs that are what I call bravery
“Dhoni is very good but…”
The tearaway quick who represented for Pakistan in 224 international games across formats has 444 wickets declared Ganguly as the best Indian captain ever
If I talk about India, then it will be Sourav Ganguly. India haven’t produced a better captain than him. Dhoni is very good, he’s a superb captain but when you talk about team building then Ganguly did a great job
