#4- Saeed Ajmal (right arm off break, doosra)
Trending
Saeed Ajmal donned the Pakistan jersey from 2006-2014. An extraordinary spinner in the few years he played, he perplexed batsmen all over the world. He bowled a terrific doosra, which bamboozled many great batsmen. Ajmal made his Test debut in the year 2006 against Srilanka and had a relatively sedate start to his international career.
He received his first coloured clothing call up two years later after making his Test debut. In 2009 Ajmal was reported by umpires for having a suspect bowling action. He appeared for an independent test the following month and it was seen that Ajmal’s arm flexed within the 15-degree tolerance by the ICC.
Ajmal was part of the T20 World Cup winning team in the year 2009 and was the 2nd highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 12 wickets from 7 matches. Ajmal was at his peak during the ICC World T20 2010, but very few remember his heroics as he was the unfortunate bowler who conceded 3 sixes in the final over of the Semi Final. Mike Hussey played an astonishing innings and Australia clinched victory from the jaws of defeat.
He played his last Test and ODI against Srilanka in 2014.
