Wasim Akram's lethal inswinging yorker to dismiss Atherton
(Web Desk) – Wasim Akram is a bonafide legend, having tormented batters for years with his incredible swing and seam bowling.
Christened the Sultan of Swing , Wasim Akram took a mindboggling 414 wickets in Test cricket and 502 wickets in One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
His ability to swing the ball both ways made him almost unplayable at times. Now, 56 years old, the Pakistan great showed that he still packs a punch when it comes to bowling.
Playing in the Wellbeing of Women celebrity charity match "in remembrance of Australia great Shane Warne", Akram turned back the clock by dismissing former England captain Michael Atherton with his signature delivery -- an inswinging yorker.
In a video posted by Cricket District, Akram takes a few steps before unleashing a lethal yorker, beating Atherton all ends up. The Englishman then salutes the Pakistani great by sticking out his bat, before giving an embarrassing smile and walking out of the ground.
