T20 World Cup 2022: Shoaib Akthar and Mohammad Shami engage in a war of words

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar isn’t afraid to express himself, and he had a strong reaction after Indian pacer Mohammad Shami made a dig at him. Pakistan missed out on their second T20 World Cup championship after losing to England in the final and finished as runners-up. After Pakistan’s defeat, Akhtar tweeted a heartbroken emoji, to which Shami immediately reacted with “Sorry about that, brother. It’s known as karma “. The remark irritated Akhtar, who had previously criticised the Indian team following their humiliating semi-final defeat. However, the fastest bowler in the world reacted to Shami with an outstanding tweet that won many hearts.

“And this is what you call a sensible tweet…,” Akhtar captioned a tweet from India’s top pundit Harsha Bhogle, who praised Pakistan’s bowlers for remaining in the game until the 19th over in a low-scoring match. Akhtar also commended Pakistan’s bowling department, which was exceptional during the tournament and played a significant role in the team reaching the final. “Congratulations, Pakistan. You performed admirably throughout the World Cup, leading Pakistan to the final. There was some luck involved, but Pakistan, you performed well “In his video, Akhtar stated.
