The Rawalpindi Express is not just fast but the fastest bowler in the world. He is not just the master of producing deadly bouncers but a king of reverse swing. This Pakistani speedster burst onto the big stage in the 1999 World Cup with a long, hurtling run-up and blistering speed. With a speed of 100 mph, watch out the spears he throws if you manage to!
