Pakistan's bowling legend Shoaib Akhtar mocks disgruntled Indian player Virender Sehwag

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's bowling legend Shoaib Akhtar mocks disgruntled Indian player Virender Sehwag.

Shoaib Akhtar hit back at longtime Indian rival Virender Sehwag for once saying that the Rawalpindi Express' frequent shower of praise for Indian players are delivered deliberately to "rack up fame and money".

Akhtar, on his YouTube channel, responded to the video of Sehwag which, though old, was trending again for reasons unknown.

The world's fastest bowler termed Sehwag's jibe as "light-hearted" banter while also casually quelling the claims as well as issuing a dig of himself.

Akhtar said that the old video had been taken out of context as the former Indian batsman had spoken these words “in a light-heartened way.”

He also took a jibe at the critic saying he has “more money than Sehwag has hair on his head”.

Akhtar also identified multiple prominent names of Pakistan cricket who have given India credit when it's due.
