Not only this, but he was also known as the ‘Sultan of Swing’, and was one of the most dangerous bowlers of his time due to his techniques. The Pakistan cricket stalwart became the first bowler to pick 500 ODI wickets, which he achieved during the 2003 World Cup. The 57-year-old’s cricket career ended when the selectors sacked him following Pakistan’s exit from the ODI World Cup 2003.
