Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team delivered a spectacular performance against archrival Pakistan at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium during the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup.
This thrilling match culminated in a resounding seven-wicket victory for India. Indian fans’ enthusiasm was matched by their team’s precision, as they effectively limited Pakistan to a mere 191 runs through precise bowling.
Rohit Sharma’s aggressive batting style alleviated scoreboard pressure, and Shreyas Iyer’s superb half-century ensured a comprehensive win with an astonishing 117 balls remaining in the game.
The intense and electrifying atmosphere surrounding an India vs. Pakistan match extended beyond the stadium, with former cricket players passionately sharing their thoughts. In the midst of this fervor, a conversation between Shoaib Akhtar and Sachin Tendulkar on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) went viral. Sachin’s witty response outshining Shoaib’s remarks left fans captivated, further fueling excitement for the post-match celebrations.
Shoaib Akhtar tried to troll team India
Former Pakistani cricket star Shoaib Akhtar sparked excitement on Twitter, in the lead-up to the India vs. Pakistan showdown. He posted an image of his memorable dismissal of the cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, with a caption that read,
“Kal agar asa kuch kerna hai, toh #ThandRakh,”

Sachin Tendulkar Gave a befitting reply to Shoaib Akhtar after the India vs Pakistan Match
Nonetheless, the Men in Blue secured a resounding victory over Pakistan, extending their unbeaten ODI World Cup streak to 8-0 against their arch-rivals. Following this triumph, it was Sachin’s turn to deliver a witty retort to Shoaib’s tweet, playfully stating,
“My friend, aap ka advice follow kiya aur sab kuch billlkoool THANDA rakha….”
With three consecutive wins at the outset of their World Cup 2023 campaign, India clinched the top spot in the standings. Their higher net run rate placed them ahead of New Zealand, who also accumulated six points from three matches. Meanwhile, Pakistan, having suffered a loss to India in their opening game, found themselves in 4th place on the points table, intriguingly holding a negative net run rate. This precarious situation meant they would be in jeopardy if England emerged victorious against Afghanistan in the day’s match, potentially jeopardizing Pakistan’s position in the top 4.
