Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle sent heartfelt wishes to former Pakistan pacer, Shoaib Akhtar, on his birthday.

Bhogle took to Twitter and posted a birthday wish for the former Pakistan speedster, who is also the fastest bowler in cricket history.

“Happy birthday to @shoaib100mph, one of the great characters of our game. His run-up, or was it take-off, was a sight. Hope you have a lovely year,” Bhogle tweeted.

Akhtar, who is known as Rawalpindi Express, was born on August 13, 1975, and today celebrates his 46th birthday.

Akhtar represented Pakistan in 46 Tests, 163 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 15 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) while taking 178 wickets, 247 wickets and 19 wickets respectively in each format.
