De Villiers in awe of ‘Amazing’ Wasim Akram

Published June 7, 2017

South African skipper AB de Villiers, arguably the best batsman of the modern game, hailed Pakistan swing legend Wasim Akram, as one of the best the cricketing world has ever seen.

"Amazing footage on Skysports2! @wasimakramlive was one seriously talented bowler. Crazy skill!" tweeted De Villiers after watching a televsion insert featuring Akram.

"I haven't seen a bowler as good," de Villiers said, quoted ESPNcricinfo.

De Villiers informed about his relationship with Wasim Akram, who is regularly featured in IPL for Kolkata Knight Riders, and praised Akram for his ability to share his knowledge about the game with the upcoming players.

“I get along with him [Akram] well. He's at Kolkata with the IPL every year, and we always have nice chats. And to actually get a bit of insight in the programme on how he used to bowl and what he was thinking while he was bowling is really nice. He has obviously shared all of that with a lot of players in the past, not only with Pakistan players but a lot of players at the IPL. But that's something you're born with. It's a natural skill that he was born with."
