Shoaib Akhtar Shares Epic Throwback Pic, Says '90s Were Fun "For So Many Reasons I Can't Give"

Legendary Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar used to bowl bullets when he was still playing, and now he fires some with his blunt analyses, mainly of his own team's performances. But he also knew how to have fun in his playing days, and still remembers how to continue doing so.

India's Predicted XI vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Will Jasprit Bumrah Make His Comeback?

India had a disappointing night after they lost against Australia in the first T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday. Despite putting up a great show with the bat and posting a target of 209, the bowling department completely failed to live up to the expectations as Australia chased down the huge target with four wickets and four balls in hand. In the second T20I, which will be played in Nagpur on Friday, Team India will look to strengthen their bowling, especially the pace attack, as in the last clash, the pacers conceded 150 runs in just 12 overs. Another thing that came as an utter shock for the fans was the absence of pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who was supposed to make his comeback in the match. It will be interesting to see whether Bumrah makes his comeback or not, and if he makes it, then who he will be replacing in the Playing XI.
