Shoaib Akhtar’s 'Strategic Gaffe'

As Pakistan gears up for their faceoff against India on September 28, former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar revealed his game plan on the cricket talk show Game On Hai. Ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 final at Dubai International Stadium, he highlighted strategies that could help Pakistan bounce back from their earlier defeats against India in the tournament.

“If Pakistan get Abhishek Bachchan out early on…” he remarked, intending to refer to India’s young opener Abhishek Sharma. The accidental slip immediately caught the attention of fans.
