Legendary Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar has revealed that iconic all-rounder and captain Imran Khan had the “mindset of attacking the stumps relentlessly”.

Akhtar’s praise for Imran, who is currently Pakistan’s Prime Minister, came after he said that he would have loved to have bowled alongside the 67-year-old.

This is because Akhtar believes that he and Imran had the same kind of mentality when bowling.

Shoaib Akhtar "If I pick a former fast bowler, I feel I would've been very fortunate if I would have bowled with Imran Khan with both of us at the peak of our careers. If we would've bowled together we would have had the same mindset of attacking the stumps relentlessly" #Cricket
