After a blistering performance in the last four games, Star India pacer Mohammad Shami has slammed former Pakistan cricketer Hasan Raza. Hitting back at his cheating allegations, Shami took to social media platforms to respond to the issue. The star pacer asked Hasan to be ashamed and listen to their former players like Wasim Akram.
Taking on his Instagram story, Mohammad Shami wrote, “Sharm karo yaar game pe focus karo na ki faltu bakwas par kabi to dusre ki success ko enjoy kiya karo chii yaar World Cup hai apk local tournament nhi hai or ap player hi the na. Wasim bhai ne samjhaya hai, explain kiya tha phir bhi. Hahahaha, apne player, apne Wasim Akram pe yakin nhi aapko. Apna tarrif krne me lage hai janab apto just like a wow.”
It’s worth noting that earlier, Hasan Raza alleged that the Apex Cricket Council and Indian Cricket Board should investigate the ball used by Indian bowlers. “Jadeja picked up five wickets and finished with career-best figures. We were talking about technology where DRS was being taken. Van de Dussen was the batter, and the ball was hitting the middle stump after pitching on the leg stump. How is that possible?” Hasan Raza had said
“The impact was in line, but the ball was headed towards the leg stump. Like everyone else, I am just sharing my opinion. I am saying that such things should be checked. DRS is being manipulated, and that is visible,” Raza was quoted as saying on ABN.
“I want to have the same thing”, says Wasim Akram
Earlier, speaking about the issue, former Pakistan pacer and skipper Wasim Akram slammed Hasan Raza for his statement. Akram has said that Raza sounds like fun. “I want to have the same things these guys are having. It sounds like fun. Because their mind is not there. They get slammed by the world (for such statements) and take us down as well with them,” Akram said on A Sports.
