Prior to the match, past players and current analysts from both the nations engaged in friendly teasing and verbal sparring. Ex-cricketers from Pakistan have once more bowed to their comments and been embarrassed because of their pre-match flexing.
Shoaib Akhtar, the former fast bowler is also quite active on social media. He typically has a strong opinion about everything. The player turned analyst is one of these players who tried to take digs at the Indian team. In an effort to lighten the mood before the game, the former Pakistani bowler decided to taunt the former Team India batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
Shoaib Akhtar tweeted with an old photo of him dismissing Sachin Tendulkar before the game. He posted it along with the caption, “Kal agar asa kuch kerna hai, toh #ThandRakh.” Shoaib Akhtar received trolling from Sachin Tendulkar for a tweet he posted relating to the India-Pakistan ODI World Cup 2023 match. Sachin also did not hold back after India clinched yet another victory over Pakistan in ODI World Cups. He replied to the initial tweet as he wrote, “My friend, aap ka advice follow kiya aur sab kuch billlkoool THANDA rakha….”
Shoaib Akhtar apologized to Sachin Tendulkar for overextending his biceps and sent him a message of submission in response. The former Pakistani star softened his tone by claiming Sachin Tendulkar is the best of all time.
The former Pakistan fast bowler ended the conversation by saying that, “My friend you’re the greatest player of all times to have graced the game and the biggest ambassador of it. He said, “Our friendly banter doesn’t change that for sure.”
Pakistan collapse hand India third straight victory at ODI World Cup 2023
When Babar Azam as well as Mohammad Rizwan stood at the wicket, the Men in Green appeared to be in good shape. However, when the former left, the team collapsed and scored just 191. Rohit Sharma scored a breathtaking 86 and Shreyas Iyer also notched up his first fifty of the tournament.
In a resounding victory on Saturday at the Narendra Modi stadium, India completely destroyed Pakistan. India now leads Pakistan 8-0 in the World Cup after Rohit Sharma along with his team easily defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets.
Fans react as Shoaib Akhtar replies to Sachin Tendulkar’s cheeky dig post India’s victory against Pakistan in ODI World Cup 2023:
My friend you're the greatest player of all times to have graced the game and the biggest ambassador of it.
Our friendly banter doesn't change that for sure. https://t.co/yyWuYhbby8— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) October 14, 2023
I didn't expect that from Sachin Tendulkar. Such a low level reply.
