Shoaib Akhtar also scolded the players

Apart from Mohammad Yusuf, former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar also scolded the players fiercely. After the match, in a debate on an Indian TV channel, he raised questions on Shaheen Afridi’s bowling. He said, “We don’t need 23 runs in batting from Shaheen Afridi. We need wickets from him. He is bowling at 125 kmph. How will we get wickets in such a situation? The Pakistani team was nowhere in front of India in the match.”

Raising questions on Pakistan cricket, Shoaib Akhtar said, “The Indian team is playing cricket 50 or even 100 years ahead. Especially in the T20 format, Pakistan is nowhere in front of India. The kind of cricket Pakistan is playing is not modern cricket. You will never be able to win in this kind of cricket. Especially not in front of teams like India.”
