PAK Vs AUS: Shoaib Akhtar Brutally Trolled By His Pakistan Teammate Over His 'Fire Tweet'

Amid the much-anticipated clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023, cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar delivered a humorous riposte to a social media post by former Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar. The match ended with India emerging victorious, led by a spectacular performance by Rohit Sharma.

Shoaib Akhtar, known as the Rawalpindi Express during his playing days, had taken to social media to express his thoughts about the game, but his post backfired when Pakistan suffered a humbling defeat at the hands of Rohit Sharma’s inspired Team India on the grand stage of the World Cup.

Tendulkar’s response was not the only one to call out Akhtar’s post on Twitter. Former Pakistani spinner Danish Kaneria also chimed in, reacting to Akhtar’s viral post on the microblogging platform. It’s worth noting that Akhtar had launched a scathing critique of Babar Azam and his team following their loss to India in the World Cup.

Shoaib Akhtar tweeted during Pakistan’s innings, “It takes fire to shush a crowd of 1.25 lacs alone. This can only happen when you have that fire inside of you.” After Pakistan’s defeat, Danish Kaneria replied to this tweet by saying, “The Fire has gone cold, Ignite it again Shoaib Bhai”

Shoaib Akhtar Praised Rohit Sharma For His Innings

During the match, Indian bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav played pivotal roles in orchestrating a batting collapse for Babar’s side. Rohit Sharma, a veteran opener and a true captain, delivered a commanding performance by scoring 86 runs off 63 balls, securing a comfortable seven-wicket victory for the host nation in front of a crowd exceeding 100,000 enthusiastic fans. With this victory, India extended its unbeaten record against Pakistan to eight games in the 50-over editions of the ICC World Cup.

Shoaib Akhtar, when reflecting on Rohit Sharma’s brilliant batting display against Pakistan, remarked that the Indian captain had overwhelmed the Green Army’s bowling attack. He praised Rohit’s aggressive approach and his ability to dominate the bowlers.

In his assessment, Akhtar labeled Rohit Sharma as a one-man army against the 1992 World Cup champions. He also criticized Babar Azam’s team for their underwhelming performance against India. Pakistan’s next match will see them face Australia, led by Pat Cummins, in another crucial World Cup clash at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

As the World Cup action unfolds, the cricketing world eagerly anticipates more thrilling encounters and memorable moments on the field, along with the ever-entertaining banter on social media from cricketing legends like Tendulkar and Akhtar.
