Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinting legend renowned for his record-breaking speed, has long harbored a deep passion for cricket.

His early admiration was notably directed towards the Pakistan cricket team, particularly fast bowler Waqar Younis. Bolt once remarked, "When I was really small, I loved the Pakistan cricket team. Waqar Younis was one of the greatest Pakistan bowlers ever, and I was a bowler, so I really enjoyed watching him." ​CricketerRediffsportsmax.tv
