Wasim Akram

The "war without guns" narrative once held weight, especially when Imran Khan's Pakistan, armed with a fearsome pace attack of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis and batting stars like Javed Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq, regularly got the better of India.

Some will say Anderson’s third place in the all-time list of leading Test wicket-takers is inflated by the number of games he played, that he does not deserve to be above fellow pacers Glenn McGrath, Dale Steyn, Richard Hadlee or Wasim Akram.

He hit the next two balls for six to match the record set by Pakistan's Wasim Akram against Zimbabwe in 1996.

Its World Cup edition, which ended a day after the final between India and Australia, featured celebrated cricketers Wasim Akram, Moin Khan, Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq.

"I grew up in the 2000s. The players in the show - Misbah-ul-Haq, Wasim Akram, Moin Khan - were people I grew up fearing and respecting as an Indian fan," says Amrit Patnaik, who lives in India's Orissa state.
