On 2nd November, India had beaten Sri Lanka in the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup by a huge margin of 302 runs. After scoring 357 in their first Innings, they bowled out Sri Lanka for a measly 55 runs. The pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj collectively picked up 9 of those wickets thanks to a great display of pace bowling. Many fans know the reason they bowled so well was because of their skillset, but ex-Pakistan cricketer and the youngest debutant in cricket has a different opinion. 

Hasan Raza, the youngest player to play cricket at the age of 14, claims India are cheating. While live on ABN News, a local channel of Pakistan, Raza claimed India are using different balls while bowling and are cheating in the World Cup. 

The balls which India use while bowling must be checked. Bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Shami were getting swing and seam movement like Allan Donald and Makhaya Ntini of South Africa. I think the BCCI, third umpire and ICC are providing different types of balls to the Indian team 

Hasan Raja said on ABN News 

Hasnain Liaquat, the host of the show, shared the clip online and many fans were quick to mock Hasan Raja. Many said he was saying such things for TRP, while others mocked Raza for his outrageous claim. One Pakistan fan was embarrassed for Raza and said he was mocking his country by saying this.
