Cricket pundits and former cricketers are ready with their guide books to advice India and Pakistan ahead of the high-octane contest between the two old cricketing enemies. Pakistan’s legendary bowler Shoaib Akhtar has joined the bandwagon and offered a hilarious advice to Pakistan about defeating India on Sunday.
Akhtar went on to tell Babar Azam and his team to stop Virat Kohli from using his Instagram and request India’s newly appointed mentor MS Dhoni not to come and bat himself.
“Give sleeping pills to India first. Second, stop Virat Kohli from using Instagram for two days. And third, ask MS Dhoni to not come to bat himself, I am telling you he’s still the most in-form batter,” Akhtar jokingly told Sportskeeda.
The ‘Rawalpindi Express’ provided five points to Pakistan on how to trump India and better their record against the arch-rivals on Sunday.
“Pakistan need to open in a manner where you can get a good start. Then, Pakistan will have to avoid dot balls, play run-a-ball for 5-6 overs then take the strike rate up. And when it comes to bowling, if you have a good total, then make sure you are out there and take wickets,” added Akhtar.
India’s record against Pakistan in T20I is top-notch with seven wins out of eight matches, with five of those coming at the World Cup. India’s opponent from across the border is yet to win a World Cup game against ‘Men in Blue’ (both ODIs and T20).
