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

#8 Waqar Younis

Waqar Younis was famous for his toe-crushing yorkers

The other ‘Sultan of Swing’ from Pakistan and probably the fastest in the world in his heyday. The name of Waqar Younis brings to mind many inswinging toe crushers delivered with the greatest precision which made the batsmen hop around or fall to their knees. When it came to bowling yorkers, Waqar was second to none. His ultra-fast missile like deliveries sent the stumps of many batsmen cartwheeling.

With a magnificent run-up, he often bowled ‘balls of fire’ which made that batsmen look helpless. Along with Wasim Akram, he formed a devastating opening bowling partnership that wreaked havoc on many batting line-ups. When Waqar was on song, he was unplayable, even for the best of the batsmen.

Although he had a tendency to leak runs, his amazing wicket taking rate, as evidenced by his tally of 416 wickets in just 262 ODIs, compensates for it. His express pace and a phenomenal ability to bowl deadly yorkers consistently would have made him a hot favorite for many franchise owners in the IPL, a match winner any captain would dream of having in his team.
