Ex-Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar once told him that he had ordered three cars of the same type. "I told him, 'Lie after thinking. It doesn't make sense'," added Akram. Discussing the 1999 Kolkata Test between India and Pakistan, Akram stated, "I told Akhtar, 'Don't go to nightclub'...I found him dancing later on in nightclub."
