Shoaib Akhtar’s bowling action is not an easy one to replicate.
His bowling action involves a very long intimidating run up followed by a powerful release action which allows him to bowl at a Blistering pace.
He holds the record for the fastest delivery of all time when he clocked a speed of 161.3 km/h during the 2003 World Cup.

Other notable bowlers with similar bowling actions are
Waqar Younis and Ravindra Pushpakumara, Shane Warne and Adam Zampa, Paul Adams and Shivil Kaushik.

We can hope that this new bowler can use this attention to his favor and prove to be an asset for Pakistan.
