IND VS PAK: ‘Umpire bhaiyo, food for thought aaj raat ke liye’- Shoaib Akhtar Take Dig On Umpire

IND VS PAK: In the climactic ICC T20 World Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan at the MCG on Sunday, October 23, which saw the Men in Blue win by four wickets in the final over.

Shoaib Akhtar has criticized the umpires for ruling a no ball during the final over. Akhtar asserts that Kohli had left his crease when attempting a big shot off the fourth delivery from spinner Mohammad Nawaz, hence it was simply not a no-ball.

Shoaib remarked in one of his deleted tweets, “No ball, umpire bhaiyo, thora dekh ke, I say. “Bunti nahi thi wasay” (Umpires be a little more careful while calling no balls; this is in reference to the no ball in the final over) means that there wasn’t one.”

The “Rawalpindi Express” corrected his earlier post by including a picture of Kohli attempting a huge shot off a delivery that was bowled over waist level.

Mohammad Nawaz was given the responsibility to complete the task for Pakistan with 16 runs needed off the last over. And he accomplished so to a certain extent when he dismissed Hardik Pandya off the first delivery.

And then kept Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik quiet for the following few balls. Virat Kohli. However, hit him for a six off the fourth pitch after it was declared as a waist-height no-ball by the on-field umpire Rod Tucker.

Due to the incident, Pakistani captain Babar Azam lost his cool and was seen arguing with the authorities. Virat was bowled off the very next delivery, adding insult to injury, but the free hit call stood since the preceding delivery was a wide.
