Indian pace bowler Mohammed Shami was stunned to hear former Pakistan player accuse India of using a different set of balls to gain an advantage with the new ball in the 2023 ODI World Cup You can even imagine someone who played at the highest level making such mean comments.
During the World Cup, the 33-year-old spoke out on social media about former Pakistan player Hasan Raza’s claims. Hasan Raza said on Pakistani TV that the ICC has given India a different ball. Indeed, India has made better use of the situation and the pitch than any of the other nine countries taking part in this mega event.
At the Puma event, Mohammad Shami continues to stir controversy by citing some Pakistani players’ inability to digest India’s deadly bowling in the marquee event, citing the bowls as a reason. He added that he thinks there are. You will laugh at Hasan Raza’s claims.
“During the World Cup, even when I wasn’t playing, I was listening. When I started playing, I took five wickets, but in the next game four, the next game five, how many wickets did I take? The Pakistani player couldn’t digest it. What should we do?”
“They think in their minds, ‘We (pacers) are the best.’ I think players who perform at the right time are the best. But you has tried to stir up controversy by saying over and over again, “The balls look different colors, you’re buying the balls from a different company, the ICC gave you a different set of balls.” ” said Mohamed Shami.
“In an interview, Wasim bhai (Wasim Akram) explained about it and helped the bowlers to clearly understand how the balls are distributed and how they can select the balls .”
“Even after that? I understand that people who haven’t played the game at this level talk like that. But you’re a former player, and if you talk like that, people don’t like it. I don’t think I’ll do anything but laugh,” Shami added.
A large part of the cricket world was surprised by Hasan Raza’s words, with many calling them unwanted and ridiculous. Legendary Pakistani pacer Wasim Akram refutes this claim and explains how the match ball is distributed to the teams and the pre-selected pairs carried onto the field by the match officials. He explained in detail how a bowler can choose from. /p>
