Ganguly was the bravest batsman I ever bowled to: Akhtar
Shoaib Akhtar has heaped praise on Sourav Ganguly, saying the former Indian batsman was very brave and was the only opener who could face the 'Rawalpindi Express' with the new ball
Lahore : Shoaib Akhtar has heaped praise on Sourav Ganguly, saying the former Indian batsman was very brave and was the only opener who could face the 'Rawalpindi Express' with the new ball.
"People used to say that he was scared to face fast bowling, he was afraid to face me. I think all of that was rubbish. Sourav Ganguly was the bravest batsman I ever bowled to, the only opener who could face me with the new ball," said Akhtar in an interview on the Helo app.
Akhtar further said that despite having limited strokes whenever the ball was aimed at his body, the left-handed batsman never backed away.
"He knew, he didn't have the shots, I also targeted him by bowling at his chest but he never backed away, and still scored runs.
That is what I call bravery."The former Pakistan speedster also labelled Ganguly as the best Indian captain he had played against."
