Former Pakistan fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar, is in the limelight for his post on Instagram story. He recently uploaded a quote from Hindu’s religious book, Bhagavad Gita. After he posted the quote from Gita on his Instagram story, it has been the talking point of the cricket fraternity on social media.

The Rawalpindi speedster also congratulated India after they managed to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados. India ended their drought of 11 years without an ICC trophy in their bag by beating South Africa by 7 runs in the final. The Indian team have been absolutely superb throughout the whole tournament, winning all the games in the whole edition. Then came Akhtar’s post which has gone viral all over social media.

Akhtar has always been straightforward with his cricketing remarks but a quote of Hindu religious book from a Muslim like him and that too from Pakistan has taken the world by storm. There are a lot of discussions regarding his Instagram story on the social media.

India suffered a heartbreak seven months ago, when they lost the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia in Ahmedabad after winning all the ten games before it. They were able to avenge the ODI World Cup 2023 final loss with a historic win in the T20 World Cup 2024 final in Barbados.

Rohit Sharma has led from the front in both the ODI World Cup 2023 and the T20 World Cup 2024. He has been absolutely sensational as a captain and played selflessly as a batter. Sharma was heartbroken after the ODI World Cup 2023 final loss.

However, he got his much-needed result of his hardwork after his team beat South Africa in a nerve-wrecking final in Barbados. After the win, Shoaib Akhtar congratulated Sharma on his X profile for his dedication and determination to lift the World Cup trophy.

Rohit Sharma has made it. Emotions are really high, well-deserving victory for India. Many, many congratulations to them. They lost in Ahmedabad (ODI World Cup final). I have said then also that India deserved to win. And this time they won it. Rohit Sharma was down on the ground, crying, says it all. What this win means to him.

Meanwhile, Pakistan was knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2024 right from the group stage. They lost their game against USA and also failed in a straightforward chase against the Indian cricket team.
