In the wake of this disappointing loss, Akhtar described it as ’embarrassing’ and urged Babar Azam‘s team to regroup, tighten their preparations, and prepare rigorously for the upcoming ODI World Cup, set to commence next month.

“Having said that this is a very embarrassing loss. The fact that Pakistan is out of the tournament doesn’t look nice. Pakistan has a lot to think about. The captaincy needs to sharpen up a bit. I am very disappointed. Can’t say more,” he concluded.

Shoaib Akhtar questioned the rationale behind the accusations, emphasizing that there was no incentive for India to lose a game that would secure their place in the final. He also praised India’s spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who played a pivotal role in the match with his 4-wicket haul.

“Why would they lose, tell me? They want to go through to the final. You end up making memes without any reason. It was a great fightback from India. The way Kuldeep played, it was massive. Look at Jasprit Bumrah, look at the fight while defending a small total,” Akhtar reasoned.

With India already securing a place in the final, Shoaib Akhtar outlined the challenge that lies ahead for Pakistan. To claim the second spot in the title-deciding contest, Pakistan must defeat Sri Lanka in their next match, setting the stage for a crucial showdown.

Beyond reminiscing about his illustrious cricketing career, Akhtar also shared his perspective on the upcoming ODI World Cup in 2023. He emphasized that the Indian team would face immense pressure when hosting the tournament, owing to the high expectations and scrutiny that come with home advantage.

“We have to come to India and we want to defeat India. We haven’t spent 600 crores. You want to come to India, the pressure is on you, the media will eat you up right away,” Akhtar highlighted.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam could not become a brand due to his inability to speak – said former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar. Babur, however, did not say anything in reply. But after a long time, Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi replied. There is no room to question Babar Azam’s batting skills. Babar is one of the best batsmen in the world in Pakistan. Shoaib claimed on a local TV channel that Babar could not establish himself as a brand despite being one of the star cricketers. He said, playing cricket is one job, and managing the media is another.

If you can’t talk, you can’t express yourself on the TV screen. I want to say directly, Babar Azam should have been the biggest brand in Pakistan. But why he has not become the biggest brand in Pakistan? Because he cannot speak. Perhaps Shaheen Afridi was waiting to respond to such comments. He also got that opportunity by asking the local media. Asked which quality of Shoaib Akhtar you like the most, Shaheen Afridi said, ‘He can build a very good brand.’ Afridi was referring to Shoaib’s comment. After Shaheen Afridi’s comments, whether Shoaib retaliates is a matter to be seen.

Shoaib Akhtar is the fastest bowler in cricket history. The former Pakistan fast bowler set a record for the fastest ball against England in the 2003 World Cup, which has yet to be broken by anyone. That Shoaib Akhtar is impressed by the speed of the ball of an old man. Shoaib posted a video on his Twitter account on Monday (April 10). There, an old man is seen bowling vigorously, which goes viral on the internet in no time. Posting that video, Shoaib Akhtar wrote, ‘Wow, bowling at 100 miles at the age of 100! I want to meet him. Somebody help me find him.’The old man’s runup in the video is very similar to that of Shoaib Akhtar. He is bowling beautifully in pajamas and a kurta. Along with Shoaib, netizens are also impressed with his bowling.

Virat Kohli has turned 34. At this age, most cricketers start thinking about retirement. But after a bad time, the former captain of India is leaving the run-scoring streak with the bat. Chasing India’s batting ‘God’ Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries. Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar feels that if he continues to play for another 6-8 years, he can break Sachin’s record. Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries was considered unbreakable. But with the speed at which Virat Kohli is running, this record of the god of cricket is no longer safe, according to many. As Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar believes, Virat Kohli’s cricket still has a lot to offer.

However, if he wants to prolong his career, he advises him to retire from T20 and focus more on ODI and Test cricket. He told Sports Talk, ‘As a cricketer, I would ask Kohli to leave T20 and focus more on Tests and ODIs. He is a great player at the crease and I think T20s absorb a lot of energy and he needs to store it now. If he can do that, he is now 34 and could easily play another 6 to eight years from now. If he can play 50 more Tests now, he can easily score 25 centuries.’On the fourth day of the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Ahmedabad, Kohli broke a nearly 40-month Test century drought with brilliant innings of 186, the 28th century of his Test career. Shoaib advises him to focus more on the game.

He is asking to focus on his game instead of listening to the criticisms that are going around him. He said, ‘Kohli should continue to play and stop listening to the criticism he has to face. Both Virat and Babar are outstanding players of our continent.’Kohli has the second-highest 75 centuries after Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 centuries. The next ODI World Cup is going to be held in India this year. So the expectations will be a bit higher for Kohli and he will have a chance to get closer to Sachin’s record. On 8 September 2022, Kohli scored 1,210 centuries against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. He played a destructive inning of 122 runs off 61 balls. Before this, his last century was against Bangladesh in November 2018. Then on December 10 of the same year in the third ODI of the series against Bangladesh, he broke the century drought of 1116 days in ODI cricket by playing an inning of 113 runs off 91 balls.

Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi are two of the best stars of Pakistan cricket at present. Babar with the bat and Afridi’s rampage with the ball have made a place in the hearts of the country’s cricket fans. The country’s former star cricketer Shoaib Akhtar has come under fire for criticizing these two cricketers. Shoaib Akhtar stopped a controversy and incited a new discussion. Many social media users have now victimized the 47-year-old former star.

In an interview given to Suno TV recently, Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘I will speak openly about Babar, he should be the biggest brand in Pakistan. But it can not be? Because he cannot speak.’Shoaib explained that knowing how to speak means fluency in the English language in the media. However, Shoaib’s comment was considered disrespectful to Babar by many. Yeb’s former teammate Kamran Akmal commented on Babar’s behalf, “Shoeb Akhtar does not come in front of the screen these days.

For this reason, he wanted to make headlines by commenting on Babar. Babar Azam is our superstar, world number one. He is improving day by day in handling the media. After this, Shoaib Akhtar said on the talk show of ARY News, ‘Yesterday I was listening to Kamran Akmal. He was pronouncing the word screen as a screen. You are speaking in a media, you need to watch what you pronounce.’Criticizing Shaheen’s departure from the World Cup final, Shoaib said, “If I had been in Shaheen’s place, I would have become Pakistan’s biggest star with those 12 balls.” I used to bowl. Even if my knees were broken, I would stand up. I used to continue playing even with repeated injections.

His father-in-law Shahid Afridi responded to these comments directed at Shaheen. Afridi said Shoaib Akhtar has taken so many injections that he cannot walk now. See, this is Shoaib Akhtar’s standard. He can do it. Difficult, but possible. But not everyone is Shoaib Akhtar. The injury makes it difficult to play with injections and painkillers. Because it risks making the injury more serious.’

Pakistani actor Umar Jaiswal was supposed to star in Shoaib Akhtar’s biography. Umar withdrew from the contract a few days ago. As a reason, he spoke about the lack of creativity and personal issues in the film. This time Shoaib himself withdrew from the decision to make a biography.

In a post on Twitter on Sunday( January 22), Shoaib said, “After thinking for the last few months, I have withdrawn from the decision to make a biography. My management and legal team have severed their contracts with those who are in charge of making this biopic. It was a dream project for me. I tried to stop a lot of things. Unfortunately, my opinion was not accepted. ’

Threatening the producers, Shoaib said, “I was forced to cancel the contract. All ties with them have been severed. Even then, if my biopic is made and my name or incident is used in any way, I will be forced to take legal action. ’

Although Shoaib withdrew from the decision, Shoaib was very interested in it in the beginning. Announcing the making of the biography, he said, “A beautiful journey is about to begin. I am going to announce my story, my life, and my biopic – ‘Rawalpindi Express’ Running Against All Odds. I’ve never had such an experience before. This is the first foreign film about a Pakistani athlete. Eti, your controversial man, Shoaib Akhtar. ’
