"If He Knows More Than ICC...": Shoaib Akhtar Reacts To Virender Sehwag's Comment On His Bowling Action

Former India opening batter Virender Sehwag had earlier this week given a big statement, saying Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar knew that he was chucking. The swashbuckling batter made the statement during an episode of 'Home Of Heroes' on Sports18. Sehwag also said that it was difficult to guess where the ball was coming out of Akhtar's hands. "Shoaib knows he used to jerk his elbow; he knew he was chucking too. Why would ICC ban him otherwise? Brett Lee's hand came down straight, so it was easy to pick the ball. But with Shoaib, you could never guess where the hand and the ball will come from," Sehwag had said on Sports 18.
