Sreesanth, a former cricketer from India, whose career was marred by a ban due to spot-fixing, recently sought to gain attention by sharing his thoughts on a specific moment during India's Asia Cup 2023 match against their arch-rivals, Pakistan.
In the midst of the Asia Cup 2023, Sreesanth made rather peculiar remarks regarding the performance of Pakistan's fast bowler, Shaheen Afridi. He chose to discredit Afridi's achievement of taking the wicket of the former Indian captain, Virat Kohli. Sreesanth stated, "It was unfortunate for India.
Pakistan was fortunate to dismiss Virat Kohli because it was an inside edge. I don't consider it a legitimate wicket. I personally know Virat, and that's why I can empathize with what must have been going through his mind when he witnessed Pakistan's celebration. I am eagerly anticipating the next India-Pakistan match."
This controversy arose during the seventh over when Virat Kohli edged the ball, leading to his dismissal after scoring just four runs. Notably, Shaheen Afridi didn't stop at Kohli; he also claimed the wickets of India's captain, Rohit Sharma, along with Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.
Sreesanth's comments have sparked discussions and debates among cricket enthusiasts, with some questioning the objectivity of his views given his history and personal connections within the cricketing world. The anticipation for future India-Pakistan clashes remains high, as these encounters are always highly charged and closely watched by fans around the world
