Former Pakistan fast bowler, Wasim Akram shared the pictures of his cat’s haircut for 1.5 lakh PKR. The pictures of his cat have spread through social media after Akram talked about it on commentary during the third ODI between Australia and Pakistan.
Akram humorously commented on the high cost of grooming his cat. He mentioned having to pay $1000 for what he referred to as a “cat haircut.” This included various expenses like sedation for the cat, the duration the cat had to stay at the grooming service, and the feeding provided there.
He paid AUD 40 for his cat’s haircut, AUD 105 for medical checkup, AUD 305 for anaesthesia, AUD 120 for post procedure, and AUD 251 for Cardio Test. The total charge was AUD 822 which was roughly Rs 45,277 and close to 1.5 Lakh in PKR.

Akram is one of the greatest fast bowlers in cricket history. He has played 104 Test matches for Pakistan, picked up 414 wickets at an average of 23.62 with a strike-rate of 54.65. Akram has 25 five-wicket haul and five ten-wicket haul in this format. He has also played 356 ODIs, scalped 502 wickets at an average of 23.53 with 36.23 strike-rate. He has 25 five-wicket haul and five ten-wicket haul in this format.
Akram had an exceptional ability to swing the ball both ways, in-swing and out-swing, often making it unpredictable. He was one of the pioneers in mastering reverse swing, using the older ball to deceive batsmen with late movement.
His pinpoint yorkers were lethal, often aimed at the base of the stumps or the toes, making them difficult to dig out. Akram could vary his pace, mixing up slower balls with his usual fast deliveries. His presence alone could intimidate, with his follow-through often ending just feet away from the batsman, adding to the pressure.
