Shoaib Akhtar, the Rawalpindi Express might have rattled many top batsmen during his career, however, he got the taste of his own medicine when he challenged the rockstar, Ali Zafar.
Turns out, Ali Zafar is a more than capable fast bowler, especially when challenged.
Recently, the two heartthrobs of Pakistan faced each other in the ground after they challenged each other for a faceoff on Twitter. Here’s how it all went down:
Suna hai bara cricketer hai tu @AliZafarsays ??

The singing sensation was quick to respond.

Akhtar threw in a challenge in response.
Tu time aur jagah bataa. Aur phir aik ball touch ker k dikha. https://t.co/eBIitcYJsT

Ali Zafar replied with his picture in the ground, telling him that he was waiting for him. He also said that he will also have a go with the ball at 172 mph.

Former Pakistani pacer responded with a wink, telling him to get ready to face the sweet chin music.
Practice ker le rockstar @AliZafarsays.
See you ;) https://t.co/DBl9wLP6Uj— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) December 3, 2019
And then came the TIME. Ali Zafar kept his promise and bowled a very fast delivery as Akhtar failed to touch the ball.
Was born ready. Ball touch kerne ki baat ki thee sir aapne. That may have been slightly over 172 mph. @shoaib100mph https://t.co/Sa4F6znLXj pic.twitter.com/hOnUub3Xuy

Moving on, it was time for Akhtar to show his skills. And, clean bowled.
Ye wo yorker hai jis se baray baray burj ultay hain jani @AliZafarsays .
My fans can tag all those 'burj' and tell you. https://t.co/Vue2V28T58 pic.twitter.com/DQxTNucSNp

But, it wasn’t a fiery delivery, rather a slower yorker.
Fastest ball ki baat huee thee sir. Ye to slower ball ka dhoka tha ! https://t.co/3hjYCDuazK

And, that’s that.
