It all started when Akhtar posted an image on his X with the caption “Kal agar asa kuch kerna hai, toh #ThandRakh“. The former Pakistan pacer took an indirect jibe on Sachin and asked the Pakistan bowlers to stay calm and perform best against India in the World Cup match. the tweet of Akhtar was posted the day before the match between India and Pakistan.

Following the big victory of India, Tendulkar took to X and replied to the tweet of Akhtar. “My friend, aap ka advice follow kiya aur sab kuch billlkoool THANDA rakha….” wrote Tendulkar, as he answered the former Pakistan pacer with utmost precision.

Our friendly banter doesn’t change that for sure – Shoaib Akhtar

Accepting his defeat, Shoaib Akhtar wrote “My friend you’re the greatest player of all times to have graced the game and the biggest ambassador of it. Our friendly banter doesn’t change that for sure,” and praised Tendulkar. It was evident that Akhtar had no answers to Tendulkar and India.

Tendulkar acknowledged the tweet of Akhtar and replied, “My best wishes to you and your family.” Fair to say, both Sachin and India had the last laugh in their respective battles.
