Happy they broke Pakistan’s record: Shoaib Akhtar reacts to ‘mighty’ India’s disgraceful batting collapse

On the embarrassing record of Team India (all out for 36), former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has expressed his sympathy to Virat Kohli. He believes that if Ajinkya Rahane did not get Virat Kohli out in the first innings, India’s position in the match would have been different. Akhtar, the world’s fastest bowler, said on his YouTube Shoaib Akhtar that Rahane had completely killed Kohli. Apart from Akhtar, many former Pakistan cricketers including Javed Miandad, Mohsin Khan have also expressed surprise at the decline of India’s batting.

Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘From here India has to think what kind of team they have to feed. But this type of performance… Let’s Zimbabwe is out, let’s get out. I do not say teams are not out, all are there, but it is so hype for India that we are the best team in the world. We are the number one team. We are this we are the one. It is very embarrassing to have such a performance again. It is not Ludo. This is not cricket on Instagram. Please focus on cricket. It will have to focus, again, on how to play with this type of fitness, with this type of drop catches, with this type of run out. ‘

Akhtar further said, “The way Virat Kohli is run out by Rahane, it means that he (Virat) has been hit by a roll in the carpet, in the first inning. He killed him after calling. Assassinated completely. If there, he would have scored a hundred and two hundred runs. Maybe some leads would have been better. Even if he was dismissed at 150, he was dismissed at 200. Had there been some lead, Hindustan would have tried to come back. But it is very disappointing, it is very disappointing. This is something that cannot be accepted. ‘

Shoaib Akhtar said that he could not believe what he saw. He said, “It was definitely a nightmare for (Virat) Kohli that his entire team was dismissed for only 36 runs. The attitude of the batsmen was not positive. He had a very good chance of winning by taking the lead in the first innings.

At the same time, former Pakistan opener Mohsin Khan said, “I couldn’t believe it when I saw Australia batting again in the morning and they only needed 90 runs.” He said, “I looked at ways of getting out. And to be honest, there was nothing wrong with the pitch. I think the batsmen did not show passion and they got into a dual mindset of playing Australian fast bowlers.

Veteran batsman Javed Miandad described it as the worst day for Indian cricket. He said, ‘To be honest it was very difficult to play some balls but I was surprised that no one struggled. This team is not fit to be dismissed for 36 runs. ‘
