Shoaib Akhtar gave this sharp statement regarding India-Pakistan match
The Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan will be played on September 2 in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Due to the ODI World Cup being organized this year, Asia Cup 2023 will also be played in ODI format. India was eliminated in the Super-4 stage of the Asia Cup 2022 T20I played in the UAE last year after losing matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Remembering the same victory of Pakistan, former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has given a stinging statement for Team India.
Shoaib Akhtar created a ruckus with his statement
Shoaib Akhtar said in an interview to sports journalist Boria Majmudar. ‘There will be a lot of pressure on Team India once again in the Asia Cup 2023. Its own media puts a lot of pressure on the Indian team and this is seen every time. India’s team, despite having talented players, loses to Pakistan because their media puts excessive pressure on them.

Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘The same was seen in the Asia Cup 2022 played last year in the UAE, when the entire stadium was seen wearing blue jerseys and a lot of hopes were being added to Team India’s victory. This pressure caused loss to Team India and Pakistan won the match without any pressure.
The Pakistan team played openly against India and won. Apart from this, Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘Pakistan’s domestic cricketers get match fees from the revenue that goes to ICC from India. I want India to make a lot of money from this World Cup. World Cup 2023 will be the most different and exciting.
