Waqar Younis
When it comes to perfection in yorkers, Waqar Younis would be the first name that strikes our mind. He was, no doubt, the finest human being for bowling yorkers at any stage of the match. His magical fast bowling was like a deadly spell for almost every batsman who played against him. Waqar was the main weapon of his team who did the heroics in lots of matches during 1990’s and early 2000s.
Wasim Akram
Chasing 4 or 5 runs off the last over are easily gettable these days. But, if Wasim Akram would have been here, the batsman would be under pressure. His reverse swinging yorkers was one of the tough tasks for the batsmen those days. He, alongside Waqar Younis, was the best pair to kill any batsman’s attitude on field. Even Sachin Tendulkar is a big fan of Wasim Akram’s fast bowling.
