Taking to the social media platform, Shoiab Akhtar had claimed that he can dismiss Steve Smith on the fourth delivery after bowling three 'hurting bouncers'.
"Even today, 3 hurting bouncers and i can dismiss @stevesmith49 on the 4th ball. Lol," Akhtar had tweeted on Monday.
Now, International Cricket Council (ICC), on Tuesday, came up with a savage response to Akhtar's cheeky tweet.
ICC, on its official twitter handle, shared a series of images to brutally troll Akhtar. In the first picture shared by the ICC, basketball legend Michael Jordan can be seen looking down as if he is reading something. The second picture is a screenshot of Shoaib Akhtar's controversial tweet.
The third picture shared by the ICC shows Michael Jordan laughing away after reading it.
In an interview on social networking app Helo, Akhtar said that he has never stepped back from sharing his knowledge and he would be more than happy to do the same with Indian bowlers.
Earlier, Akhtar had proposed a series between India and Pakistan to help raise funds to fight the pandemic. While former India skipper Kapil Dev was against the idea, Akhtar found the support of former captain Shahid Afridi.
