Shoaib Akhtar praises Rohit Sharma and gets trolled by Pakistani fans

Despite posting a congratulatory tweet, it didn’t go well with some of the Pakistani fans

Right after clinching the T20I series against England, Team India and its players received huge appreciation on social media. On the same day, Pakistan too won the tri-series in Zimbabwe after defeating Australia and retained their first position in ICC T20I rankings.

Following these historic events, former Pakistani legendary bowler, Shoaib Akhtar took to his social media handle to congratulate both the teams. In addition, he went on to praise Indian opener Rohit Sharma who played a match-winning inning and scored the third ton of his T20I career.

Here’s the post:

Pakistan beats Australia in a thriller & now in decider Hindustan beats England comprehensively that goes to shows that subcontinent teams are so well equipped in shorter format ..
But outstanding innings by Rohit Sharma..
3 hundred in T20 is something else .

Despite posting a congratulatory tweet, it didn’t go well with some of the Pakistani fans as they trolled the ‘Rawalpindi Express’ for not acknowledging Fakhar Zaman who played a crucial knock of 91 runs of 46 balls.

Here’s are the reactions:
