India vs Pakistan: Shoaib Akhtar Posts Photo Of Dismissing Sachin Tendulkar Ahead Of World Cup Clash, Gets Trolled
Pakistan cricket team legend Shoaib Akhtar was on the receiving end of some brutal social media trolling after he posted a picture of him dismissing batting great Sachin Tendulkar. Akhtar posted the photo on the eve of the India vs Pakistan World Cup 2023 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The photo was clicked during the first match of the Asian Test Championship between India and Pakistan in Kolkata. In the match, Akhtar dismissed Rahul Dravid and Tendulkar off consecutive deliveries in the first innings.
Pakistan went on to win the game by 46 runs, thanks to Saeed Anwar's 188-run knock in the second innings.
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Akhtar posted a photo from the match, with the caption reading: "Kal agar asa kuch kerna hai, toh #ThandRakh".
