#4 Waqar Younis

Brit Uni v PakistanX
This legendary fast bowler has taken 373 test wickets and 416 ODI wickets

Hailed as one of the best fast bowlers to have ever played the game, the “Burewala Express” would have definitely been a huge success in the IPL. Waqar Younis vs Virat Kohli would have had been a treat to watch. Two overs at the front and two at the back would be right up his sleeve. The attitude in which he would bowl would have perfectly suited T-20 cricket. Full, fast and swinging was his mantra.

Also known as the “Toecrusher” his in-swinging yorkers would castle even the best. He wouldn’t be any stranger to bowling in the death as well. Now coaching the current Pakistan team, he most definitely has a great cricketing brain which is needed for the IPL.
