World Commentators' Playing XI

11) Shoaib Akhtar, Age: 40

Shoaib Akthar called it a day after the 2011 Cricket World Cup

The ‘Rawalpindi Express’ made his debut in 1997 in a Test match against the West Indies and fast bowling was never going to be the same. The Pakistani pacer has the record for the fastest ball ever bowled (161.3 v England in the 2003 WC). In a career peppered with injuries, suspensions and controversy, Akhtar did well to accumalate 178 Test Wickets and 247 ODI Wickets.

Shoaib Akhtar has now formed a formidable partnership with none other than Virendar Sehwag in the commentary box. Their banter had people off their feet during the WT20 and we can expect more of the same going into the future.

And a special mention to #Sehwag & #ShoaibAkhtar in the commentary box You guys are funny! Hindi commentary way better! @StarSportsIndia
