Tamim says he thought Shoaib would kill him


To keep people amused during lockdown due to coronavirus, Bangladesh ODI Captain Tamim Iqbal met with ex Captains Naiumur Rahman Durjoy, Khaled Mahmud, and Habibul Bashar. The 4 captains jumped into their memory for different events. 

When the 2003 Multan test was created, Shoaib Akhtar came up with the brutal fast bowling. ShoaibShoebi did not take the Multan Test, but he bowled some fiery spells on the two previous tests and had 10 wickets at Peshwar. Mahmud was one of the batters who bounced back in the first innings along with the batsmen of the lower middle order at Peshwar. He hit twenty-five and the last wicket from Shoaib was against Bangladesh. 

The Bowling Action of Shoaib Akhter

He said he still found it difficult to understand what happened to the world's fastest bowler. "I still can't let people believe that I didn't even see Shoaib Akhter's first ball that he bowled." 

Tamim is a batsman who is used to attack the bowlers through his batting has also confirmed more the speed generated by Shoaib over the course of his career. 

"Not just you, a lot of people faced that," Tamim recalled. Tamim added, "He was so furious".  In his career, Tamim twice came out against Shoaib: in Kenya at a tri-nation and Asian Cup again in 2010. During the first encounter between the two, Akhter got Tamim's wicket.
