Sreesanth, a former cricketer from India, whose career was marred by a bandue to spot-fixing, recently sought to gain attention by sharing histhoughts on a specific moment during India’s Asia Cup 2023 match againsttheir arch-rivals, Pakistan.
In the midst of the Asia Cup 2023, Sreesanth made rather peculiar remarksregarding the performance of Pakistan’s fast bowler, Shaheen Afridi. Hechose to discredit Afridi’s achievement of taking the wicket of the formerIndian captain, Virat Kohli. Sreesanth stated, “It was unfortunate forIndia.
Pakistan was fortunate to dismiss Virat Kohli because it was an insideedge. I don’t consider it a legitimate wicket. I personally know Virat, andthat’s why I can empathize with what must have been going through his mindwhen he witnessed Pakistan’s celebration. I am eagerly anticipating thenext India-Pakistan match.”
This controversy arose during the seventh over when Virat Kohli edged theball, leading to his dismissal after scoring just four runs. Notably,Shaheen Afridi didn’t stop at Kohli; he also claimed the wickets of India’scaptain, Rohit Sharma, along with Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.
