Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar took to Twitter on October 19 to acknowledge the impressive performance of Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and the team itself.
Shoaib Akhtar, widely recognized for his rapid bowling during his playing days, has been known for his frank and often critical analysis of cricketing events, particularly those featuring arch-rivals India and Pakistan.
However, his recent tweets indicate a more appreciative stance toward the Indian cricket team.
In his post, Shoaib Akhtar stated, “No.48 for @imVkohli and another significant win for India. This team appears unstoppable at this point!”
This unexpected praise comes on the heels of Shoaib Akhtar’s tweet from October 14, in which he congratulated the Indian team for a comprehensive victory and simultaneously offered encouragement to the Pakistani team, saying, “But ThandRakh Pakistan, abhi poora tournament hai aagay, regroup and bounce back.”
These tweets signal a softer and more objective approach from Shoaib Akhtar, emphasizing the importance of Pakistani cricketers regrouping and performing at their best in the upcoming matches.
