The Indian cricket team has got tangled in another situation. The Indian cricket team was already facing criticism from the fans after the team’s poor performance in opening 2 matches of the T20 World Cup 2021.
The criticism did not stop even after India registered their first win of the T20 World Cup 2021 campaign against Afghanistan. There is a new allegation being made that India and Afghanistan match was fixed.
Team India registered a comprehensive victory over the Afghanistan cricket team as the men in blue rommped past Afghanistan by 66 runs.
Social Media still was not happy it seemed. There were allegations made that the India vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup 2021 match was fixed. However, the former Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar came out in support of the Indian team and Afghanistan team.
Shoaib Akhtar posted a video on his YouTube channel in which he talked about fans criticising the Indian players. He also talked about the allegations of match fixing.
In his Twitter account, the former Pakistani pace sensation briefed the entire video with a small tweet. He asked the fans to stop talking about match being pre-decided.
