The World Cup is a battle of on and off the field. The biggest tournament of cricket sets a new kind of hype in every edition. This is a stage where everyone wants to showcase their talent. Every team is giving their best to be the best at the end of this tournament. Some teams are going great and some are still struggling. Pakistan is one of them. They are also struggling. But a comment from a former Pakistan star caught attention. After that former Pakistan player Wasim Akram gave a perfect reply to them. Indian star Aakash Chopra shows respect to him for this reason.
Hasan Raza’s Allegations and Wasim Akram’s Reply:
Pakistan has faced disappointments quite a few times in the World Cup. they are showing poor performances. From batting to bowling and then in fielding, they are facing troubles. After this awful performance, legendary Pakistan pacer Hasan Raza gave a bold statement. He said that he was surprised by the huge amount of seam and swing that Indian pacers are getting. He asked for an inspection of the balls that are used in the tournaments.
Previously Raza said, “ We are seeing that when they are batting, they bat well and suddenly the ball starts doing things when India bowl. There have been 7-8 close DRS calls that have gone in their favor. The way Siraj and Shami were swinging the ball, it seemed like the ICC or the BCCI were giving them different and suspicious balls in the second innings. There needs to be an inspection done on the ball. There could also be an extra layer of coating on the ball for swing.”
Wasim Akram gave a savage reply to that. In a talk show, Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik were presented to talk about recent cricketing matters. In that show, the host asked Akram about that matter. Then he said, “ I have been reading about it for the last couple of days. I want to have the same thing these guys are having, sounds like fun because their mind is not there. You will embarrass yourself and you will get us humiliated as well in front of the whole world.”
Aakash Chopra’s Praise:
After this interview came on social media, netizens started to praise them. Aakash Chopra was one of them. Shared the video and said, “ Expected @wasimakramlive to drill some sense into and he doesn’t disappoint. Once the sultan of Swing speaks, everyone must listen.”
Pakistan’s qualifying scenario is a bit complicated. Along with winning all the remaining matches they have to work hard on their run rate. This is hard for them. In this match, New Zealand is going well. They set a huge target in front of Pakistan. They will have to fight hard to win the match.
