IND vs PAK, World Cup 2023: During the India-Pakistan match, former India coach Ravi Shastri, during the commentary, said about Shaheen Shah Afridi that he is not Wasim Akram.
India vs Pakistan: The World Cup match between India and Pakistan was being awaited for the last four years, and now finally India has once again defeated Pakistan. While commentating this match, Indian commentator Ravi Shastri said that Shaheen Shah Afridi is not Wasim Akram. Let us give you complete information about this statement given by former Indian coach Ravi Shastri, but before that let us talk about the eighth World Cup match between India and Pakistan.
In this match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first, and Pakistan’s opener batsmen also batted very well in the beginning. Pakistan’s openers Imam Al Haq and Abdullah Shafiq hit some good shots in the beginning, but after some time both lost their wickets one by one. After that, Pakistan captain Babar Azam and in-form wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan were present at the crease.
What did Ravi Shastri say about Shaheen?
Both of them took the team’s innings forward very well and took the score to 155 runs. After that Babar Azam was out on a personal score of 50 runs, and then Pakistan team was all-out for just 191 runs. Team India, which set out to chase this score, easily achieved the target. Indian batsmen took all Pakistani bowlers from Shaheen to Shadab on remand.
During this, Ravi Shastri, who was present in the Hindi commentary box, while talking to Irfan Pathan and Jatin Sapru, said, “Shaheen does not need to be afraid too much. Shaheen Shah Afridi is not Wasim Akram. He is a good bowler, but he does not need to be scared so much. But there is no need to tease. There is no need to forcefully say that he is an incredible bowler.” Hearing this statement of Ravi Shastri, former Indian bowler Irfan Pathan also started laughing. Actually, before the Asia Cup, Pakistan fans had talked a lot about Shaheen that Rohit and Virat would not be able to stand in front of him, but it is nothing like that. Both Rohit and Virat played Shaheen Shah Afridi very well.
