New Delhi: Out of favour India pacer S. Sreesanth interacted with fans and followers in a live session on Helo App. The Kerala-born pacer was asked by one of his fans to pick his all-time favourite Indian captain. Sreesanth picked 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev as his favourite Indian skipper. The 37-year-old also shared his experience from the 2011 World Cup. “In 2011, I was a bit nervous, but Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh motivated me to bowl. And since it was the World Cup and we were playing at home, everyone in the side wanted to win that final at Wankhede Stadium at any cost for Sachin Paaji! And winning the final in front of an electric crowd was a great experience. It was also my last ODI match in India colours.” Sreesanth said in the live session. Sreesanth reacts to Shoaib Akhtar's comment on Ind-Pak series "We are not in good terms with Pakistan so, India first and health first. Personally, I am not in favour of playing any match against Pakistan unless the relations between the two countries improve,' said Sreesanth during an Instagram Live. Akhtar's suggestion has not gone down well with many including the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. Former captain Gavaskar had said: "There are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than bilateral series between India and Pakistan." "Both teams will keep on meeting in World Cups and ICC tournaments, but a series between them seem unlikely right now," Gavaskar had told former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raza on his YouTube channel. Akhtar took note of this comment from Gavaskar and wrote on his Twitter handle: "Well Sunny Bhai, we did have a snowfall in Lahore last year. So nothing is impossible." Gavaskar shot back saying he 'enjoyed' Akhtar's reply. "I enjoyed the one I did with Ramiz Raja as we get along very well but what I enjoyed even more was Shoiab Akhtar's superb comeback about my snowfall in Lahore comment. A fast bowler with a sense of humour. Wow, love that!"
