Pakistan has a track record of producing talented fast bowlers, be it Wasim Akram or the 7 feet 1 inch tall Muhammad Irfan. Looks like Muhammad Irfan’s record as the world’s tallest bowler is about to be broken by 21-year old Mudassir Gujjar.

Gujjar was born to parents with normal height- his father Hashim Mohammad is 5 feet 6 inches tall whereas his mother Parveen is 5 feet 3 inches tall.
Doctors said that Gujjar had hormonal difficulties that led to a spurt in growth. Due to his gigantic height, he also faced bullying and name calling at school.
Because of the height, Mudassar experiences some fitness issues but is working on them to make sure it does not hurt his career in the sport.
