Akhtar, who earned the nickname of the ‘Rawalpindi Express’, bowled the fastest delivery officially recorded in cricket history against England on February 22, 2003 in a World Cup match at Newlands, Cape Town in South Africa.
The Pakistan Cricket Board tweeted a throwback to the historic day: “#OnThisDay in 2003 @shoaib100mph registered his name in the record books by bowling the fastest delivery officially recorded at 100.2 MPH in @cricketworldcup game against England.”

Other modern-day fast bowlers who came close to matching the speed include Australia’s Shaun Tait (161.1 km/h), Brett Lee (161.1 km/h), and Mitchell Starc (160.4 km/h). Shoaib Akhtar’s record, however, remains unbroken.
