Akhtar also said that Indian batting great V.V.S. Laxman was also left clueless by Asif.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Even bigger than Wasim Akram, the guy that I&#39;ve seen bowling is Mohammad Asif. I have actually seen batsmen crying while facing Asif. Laxman once said &#39;how will I face this guy&#39;, AB de Villiers literally started crying during the Asian Test Championship,&quot; Akhtar said while speaking on Sports Today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akhtar was talking about India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and felt that the latter is the smartest fast bowler after Asif.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But I think after Asif, Bumrah is the smartest fast bowler presently. People were doubtful about his fitness in Test cricket, even I was watching him closely. He has a quick bouncer, is deceptive and sharp and a good character this guy is,&quot; Akhtar said.<\/p>\r\n",
