Inzamam-Ul-Haq launches fresh attack on Team India after Rohit Sharma asks him to 'Use Some Brain'

Former Pakistan skipper Inzamam-Ul-Haq has questioned Team India after they cemented their place in the T20 World Cup final by beating England in the semi-final on Thursday. Now India will play South Africa in the final on Saturday, June 29.

The Men in Blue won by 68 runs after putting up 171 on the board and bowling out the opposition for 103. The Men in Blue made it to their third T20 World Cup final and the first time since 2014. They have been unbeaten so far in this World Cup and have won all their matches with authority. 

Meanwhile, launching a fresh attack on the Indian cricket team, BCCI, and Rohit Sharma Inzamam said that there are different rules in this World Cup for the Indian team and the ICC Is favoring them.

His point was in context to the ICC not keeping a reserve day for the second semi-final between India and England. A washout would have seen India qualify for the World Cup final.

Appearing on Hungama, a show on Pakistan channel 24 News HD, Inzamam said: "If you see the two semi-finals, only the India-England game does not have a reserve day. That's because India have won all of their games and they will qualify for the final if the game is abandoned."

"There are different rules for each match. When Pakistan were in a strong position in the Asia Cup, we suddenly had a reserve day for just one match," he said, suggesting that India got a favorable scenario each time. India are in so much power right now that not even England can do anything. Cricket is being run by just one force. It is not the Big Three anymore, it's the Big One," he further added. 

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Inzamam targeted the Indian cricket team in this World Cup. He previously questioned Arshdeep Singh's ability to get a reverse swing with the new ball and accused India of ball-tampering.

He accused the Indian team of ball-tampering in the match against Australia. Arshsdeep who took 3/37 in that match got the ball to reverse swing as early as the 15th over. He dismissed David Warner with the new ball before dismissing Matthew Wade and Tim David in the 18th over. He even asked the umpires to "keep their eyes open". 

“ Arshdeep Singh, when he was bowling the 15th over, the ball was reversing. is it too early (for reverse swing) with the new ball? This means the ball was ready for reverse swing by the 12th or the 13th over.

Umpires should keep their eyes open (to spot) these things...If it was Pakistani bowlers (reverse swinging the ball) this would have been a big issue. We know reverse swing very well and if Arshdeep can come in the 15th over and start reversing the ball, it means some serious work had been done before," Inzamam said.

Rohit Sharma firmly opposed Inzamm's comments in his post-match press conference after the Australia game and asked him to look at things with an "open mind".
