Shoaib Akhtar, Harbhajan Singh Engage In A Banter Ahead Of India-Pakistan Clash In T20 World Cup 2021

Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh and former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar have engaged in banter ahead of the India-Pakistan clash in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.

The highly anticipated T20 World Cup battle between arch-rivals India National Cricket Team and Pakistan National Cricket Team is all set to commence on Sunday 24 October at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Notably, Pakistan has never defeated India in the World Cups whether it is a T20 World Cup or a 50-over World Cup, India has always remained victorious against neighbours in the mega event.

However, Pakistan Captain Babar Azam will be eyeing changing things and winning the game against India. On the other hand, captain Virat Kohli will have a big responsibility to carry forward the winning streak of India against Pakistan in the World Cups.

Both the teams have announced a strong 15-member squad and the battle between India and Pakistan is expected to draw a large number of viewership and already there is ridiculous demand of the mega encounter match tickets.

Meanwhile, Harbhajan took the “Mr. I know it all” comment seriously and shot back with a tweet. He wrote:
