young Waqar Younis 3 Wickets Against India #cricket #icc #shorts

Few sights in the history of cricket match the raw, terrifying theater of a young Waqar Younis charging in from the pavilion end. #vintagecricket #cricket #icc Between 1989 and 1994, before a succession of back stress fractures forced him to shorten his run-up, "Wiki" wasn't just fast—he was a force of nature that permanently altered the physics of fast bowling. Discovered out of nowhere by Imran Khan after a single televised domestic match, the teenage sensation from Burewala brought a radical, aggressive blueprint to the international crease.While classical coaching manuals taught bowlers to deliver the ball from close to the stumps with a high, upright action, the young Waqar threw the rulebook out. The Extreme Angle: He delivered the ball from wide of the crease, utilizing a distinct side-on chesty action and a low, whippy release point. The Physics of the Banana Swing: This unique angle, combined with immense shoulder power and a hyper-extended wrist release, allowed him to late-swing the ball at speeds exceeding 90 mph (145 km/h). The Destruction: The ball would start wide of off-stump, lulling the batsman into thinking it was safe to leave, before violently shape-shifting mid-air to smash into the base of leg stump
