Reportedly world's fastest bowler shoaib akhtar has made a startling revelation and said that he once bowled an intentional beamer at former india captain MS Dhoni. shoaib akhtar said that the incident happened during 2006 Faisalabad Test match between pakistan and India. The Rawalpindi-born recalled that the wicket was flat and dry and he was getting no help despite bowling his heart out.
The 44 year old added that he bowled the beamer out of frustration as dhoni was smashing him all over the park. Akhtar said his knees were completely destroyed since 1997 and he was playing that match in a lot of pain and had also used injections for the same. "My fibula bone was completely destroyed. I had bowled a really fast spell of 8-9 over and dhoni showed up. I apologized to him for intentionally bowling a beamer. For the first time in my life I had bowled an intentional beamer. I shouldn't have done it. I regretted a lot. He was playing so beautifully, wicket was also slow. I was continuously bowling fast but he kept on smashing me. I think I got frustrated”.
