Happy Birthday to the Rawalpindi Express, Shoaib Akhtar! Your bowling was so fast that batsmen often blinked and missed it—sometimes even before you bowled. Remember when you clocked 161.3 km/h against England in 2003? Rumor has it, they're still searching for that ball!Your fiery spells carried Pakistan through countless thrilling matches in the early 2000s; your fierce rivalry with Sachin Tendulkar remains legendary cricket folklore. Even today, fans replay those iconic yorkers and bouncers on loop just to relive your magic.
Wishing you a birthday as speedy and memorable as one of your deliveries—but hopefully less intimidating!
