New Delhi: Pakistan’s ace former pacer Shoaib Akhtar recently faced some brutal trolling from netizens over his recently shared controversial tweet about ex-Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.

On Friday, Shoaib trolled the Indian cricket legend by dropping a picture of him from the Asian Test Championship in which he is seen celebrating after dismissing Sachin Tendulkar.

In the match, Shoaib displayed utmost brilliance with the ball by castling the wickets of top Indian batsman Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar on back-to-back deliveries and made his team win the game by a margin of 46 runs.

Besides Shoaib, one of the finest Batman in the history of Pakistan Cricket Saeed Anwar also displayed his cricketing talent in the match by playing a heroic knock of 188 runs that completely took the game out of India’s grip.

Referring to Pakistan’s Asian Test Championship triumph against India, Shoaib took to his Twitter (now x) handle and shared a still of Sachin’s wicket along with a caption that read’ “Kal agar asa kuch kerna hai, toh Thand Rakh”

Soon after Shoaib’s objectionable post went viral, Indian fans took to his comment section and bashed the fast bowler while reminding him of Pakistan’s Pathetic record against India in the ICC World Cups.

Slamming the Pakistani fast bowler, one internet user wrote, “23 October 2022 (India’s victory over Pakistan in T20 World Cup) wala seen repeat ho gaya to.”Another said, “Akhtar is indirectly saying Pakistani batsman to play test cricket.” A third user added, “Haan and aise karte karte 7-0 ho gaya, abki baar 8-0.”

Meanwhile, Indian Captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first in the high-octane clash between India and Pakistan that is currently underway in Ahamadabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium in front of 1.3 lakh cricket fans. In their previous ODI World Cup encounters, Asian arch-rivals India and Pakistan have met 7 times on the field with the men in blue emerging victorious every single time.

In the ICC World Cup 2023, both India and Pakistan have so far remained undefeated by emerging victorious in both their first two fixtures of the tournament. While India has begun their World Cup quest with back-to-back dominating victories over Australia and Afghanistan, Pakistan has also regained their much-needed form with a historical victory over Sri Lanka in the 8th match of the tournament.
