Former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn has praised Shoaib Akhtar’s yorker as the best in cricket history. Steyn responded to a social media post by Iceland Cricket, citing Akhtar’s performance in the 1999 ODI World Cup as the reason for his choice. Akhtar was a key player in Pakistan’s journey to the final, taking 16 wickets in 10 matches. He is also known for being the fastest bowler in history, having bowled a 161.3 kph delivery in the 2003 World Cup.
Akhtar’s impressive career statistics include 178 wickets in 46 Tests, 247 wickets in 163 ODIs, and 19 wickets in 15 T20Is. His ability to bowl fast and accurately made him a formidable opponent on the field. Steyn’s endorsement of Akhtar’s yorker is a testament to the Pakistani bowler’s skill and legacy in the sport.
