Ex-Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra slams the Pakistani show, alleging India is cheating with the ball in the ICC tournament
Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra has condemned a Pakistani TV show for making false allegations against the team. Chopra took to Twitter to slam a cricket show on the ABN channel that claimed that India were cheating with the ball in the ODI World Cup 2023.
Former Pakistani cricketer Hasan Raza, while speaking on the channel, said that whenever India had the ball in hand, it seemed that the wicket had turned into a bowling-friendly one. He further said that it also looked like the team was being helped by the umpires on DRS decisions, which seemed to mostly go India's way. The show also alleged that India was being given special balls by the ICC in the tournament.
Chopra was quick to react to the same and call out the show. The cricketer said that the show was unserious and should put up a label saying that whatever they were saying was satire.
Chopra tweeted, "Is it a serious cricket show? If not, please mention'satire ‘or’ ‘comedy’ in English somewhere. I mean, it might be written in Urdu already, but unfortunately, I can’t read or understand it.”
