Speaking about the Colors Cricket Conclave, Sachin Gokhale, Business Head- Middle East & Africa and Head of Business Operations and Corporate Strategy for International Business at IndiaCast said, “Colors Cricket Conclave is our first event for 2018 and we’re very excited to introduce this unique cricket concept which will host two sides to the cricket story- i.e. a world-renowned batsman and a legendary bowler from two rival countries. We have received great support and appreciation from our South Asian audiences as they unite at our on-ground events in the Middle East. Fans can expect more fantastic live event experiences in the next few months which will be innovative and exciting for the market.”

Shoaib Akhtar, known as the speed demon of the Pakistan cricket team, was controversy’s favorite child. His career was a roller-coaster ride with highs and lows on a regular basis. However, when it came to bowling, and in the aspect of speed, there was no better sight that Akhtar. His pace had every nation gasping for breath. His 6/11 against New Zealand at Lahore had the Kiwis begging for mercy. The moment that best described Akhtar was his spell in the Asian Test Championship match against India at a jam packed Eden Gardens at Kolkata in 1999. He removed Rahul Dravid with a peach of an in-swinging yorker and won his first battle with Sachin Tendulkar, bowling him for a golden duck to silence the capacity crowd. He is remembered as the man who broke the 100 mile mark not once, but twice.
