New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar, known as the 'God' of cricket in India, and former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar may have retired, but the competition between them is still going on.
Sachin Tendulkar, who hit a six through 'classical uppercut' off Shoaib's ball in the World Cup played in South Africa in 2003, has now given a similar blow through social media.
Shoaib Akhtar gave an advice to his team before the India-Pakistan match in the ODI World Cup-2023. Putting a picture of Sachin Tendulkar getting out on his ball years ago, he advised Pakistan to 'keep cool'. After India's victory, Sachin Tendulkar hit back and in a way said that Shoaib's advice proved too costly for Pakistan.
Sachin said, “My friend, Pakistan Team followed your advice and kept everything cool! '
Sachin's statement is being linked to the performance of the Pakistan team. Pakistan team failed in all three departments of the game i.e. batting, bowling and fielding.
This is not just a 'funny argument' between two former players on social platforms. This also shows how much the excitement of the India-Pakistan match had gripped everyone from the common people to the elite people of both the countries.
Akhtar disappointed with team's performance
Shoaib Akhtar, who advised his team to 'keep cool' before the match, has also expressed his displeasure over the batting of the Pakistani team.
Akhtar, who is very active on social media, released a video and said that he is very disappointed with Pakistan's performance.
He said, "All the batsmen of Pakistan got a great platform but the team could not capitalize on it."
Pakistan did not have the talent to score big. It hurts to see the match slipping out of Pakistan's hand on a very good track and batting wicket, Shoaib said.
Shoaib Akhtar, on the contrary, praised the Indian bowlers, "The Indian spinners have performed brilliantly. Devastating comeback and excellent captaincy by Rohit Sharma."
On Saturday, thousands of fans gathered at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to watch the much-awaited World Cup match between India and Pakistan.
People had expected the match to be exciting but when India won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat, no one would have thought that the Pakistani innings would be reduced to just 191 runs.
We were thinking of scoring 280 runs: Babar
Pakistani cricket team captain Babar Azam said, "The way we started was not good for us. We were thinking of scoring 280 runs."
But Indian bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya both said that the Pakistani team did not seem to try or take chances.
Bumrah was chosen Man of the Match. After being chosen Man of the Match, Bumrah said, “It feels good. You have to test the wicket as quickly as possible. We knew that the wicket was slow so we wanted to make it as difficult as possible for the batsmen to score runs."
Bumrah took two wickets for just 19 runs in seven overs. He took the wickets of Mohammad Rizwan and Shadab Khan. Every batsman of Pakistan looked worried against him.
