Conclusion:
Taskin Ahmad was the fastest bowler in the history of Bangladesh cricket before Nahid Rana debuted for his country. He became a better bowler after working with South African legend fast bowler Allan Donald. Allan Donald worked very hard on all the Bangladeshi fast bowlers in his coaching tenure and taught them the art of swing, which was required in that generation of fast bowlers. Taskin Ahmad is now one of the best fast bowlers that Bangladesh cricket has ever produced. We hope Taskin will win a lot of matches single-handedly for his country.
