10 bowlers from the 90s era who we would have loved to watch in the IPL

#6 Allan Donald

Allan Donald was the face of the South African attack in the 90s

If Lance Klusener was the hero of the immortal 1999 World cup semi-final clash between South Africa and Australia for almost taking the Proteas home, Allan Donald became the cursed figure for being run out that led to Australia’s entry into the final. But, none can deny his contribution to the South African cricket in the post-apartheid era and his place in the cricket history as one of the most dangerous bowlers.

Till Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock came along and rose in prominence, Donald was the only stellar performer for the Proteas in both formats of the game. He possessed the ability to bring the ball in or move it away and even the best of the batsmen often found him a hard nut to crack. Injuries dimmed his effectiveness in the fag end of his career but he was the most feared bowler during his prime.

Donald, who was nicknamed ‘the White Lightning’, picked up 272 wickets in 164 matches, which amounts to an astonishing 1.65 wickets per match and would have been an automatic choice for any team in the IPL because of his amazing wicket taking ability.
