From our online archive

NEW DELHI: A young kid has left former Pakistani legendary speedster Wasim Akram in awe with his pace and swing at such a young age.

Recently, a video went viral on social media, in which a young Pakistani boy was seen bowling at a single stump, in a distinctly similar action as Akram's.

After seeing the video, Akram showered praises on the kid on Twitter and called him a 'serious talent'.

Left-arm pacer Akram was the first bowler to reach the 500-wicket mark in ODI cricket during the 2003 World Cup.

The 51-year-old has taken 23 four-wicket hauls in ODI in 356 matches he played. He claimed 414 Test wickets at an average of 23.62 and a further 502 ODI scalps.
