Former Pakistan legend Wasim Akram is a well-respected figure in the cricketing circles. He is arguably the best fast bowler to have played the game. And hence, when he makes a mistake – it gets spotted. During the second ODI between Australia and Pakistan on Friday in Adelaide, Akram hailed praise on Ihsanullah. Akram said this while Mohammad Hasnain was bowling the ninth over of the match. “We’ve another bowler Ihsanullah. I think a couple of years ago he did really well in the IPL and impressed every one of us,” Wasim Akram said on commentary, as quoted by a user on X (formerly known as Twitter).
