Arguably the greatest all-around fast bowler of all time, Wasim Akram was a destructive pacer who frightened batsmen all around the globe. On his day, he was effortlessly capable of dominating even the best batsmen of the world and his exploits helped Pakistan rise to the top of world cricket.

Akram enjoyed an eye-catching record against India and was often found in his phenomenal best whenever Pakistan squared off against them. His tally of 60 wickets from 48 appearances do suggest that the legendary left-arm pacer relished the opportunity of facing India at the international stage.

His economy rate of 3.73 is more than impressive as India has always been known to score runs quickly, but the King of Swing was often able to contain the Indian batsmen.
