About this listen
The official autobiography of Wasim Akram, the 'Sultan of Swing', one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of cricket.
For twenty years, Wasim Akram let his cricket do the talking—with his electrifying left-arm pace, his explosive striking as a batsman, and his inspirational leadership. For another twenty years, he kept his own counsel about his cricketing days—full of drama, controversy and even mystery—in a country, Pakistan, that to outsiders is a constant enigma.
Sultan tells the story of cricket's greatest left-arm bowler, and one of its enduring survivors, who was chosen from the streets of Lahore and groomed by Imran Khan to become champion of the world—he was Man of the Match in the final of the 1992 World Cup which Pakistan won. Along the way were unforgettable rivalries with the legends of his time, from Viv Richards and Ian Botham to Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne. All of this against a backdrop of conspiracy and intrigue over ball tampering and match-fixing, about which Wasim finally sets the story straight.
Sultan provides an unprecedented insight into the life—both on and off the field—of a cricketer who revolutionized the sport with his speed and swing, and a patriot buoyed and burdened by the expectations of one of the game's most fanatical publics.

Wow. What a wonderful enthralling story from street cricket to the Sultan. Congratulations on writing a honest and at times difficult story.

straight from the heart
As an Indian cricket fan, Wasim has caused us heartaches over the years through his skill and class as a world class all rounder. His memoir is honest and gives us an insight into the great man’s personality.
Impressed with the end where he talks about his post cricket challenges.
Respect to you sir!
