‘Agar chache ke puttar ne keh diya…’ – Wasim Akram tears apart Babar Azam for asking signed jersey from Virat Kohli

Forner world cup winner Wasim Akram tore apart Babar Azam for asking with Virat a signed jersey. Wasim criticized that it was not right on Babar’s part to ask for the signed jersey from Virat after the loss in the match. Akram said that Babar should have asked for it in the dressing room, but not in the stadium.

“That’s what I exactly said when I saw the picture (Getting the shirts publicly, not privately). Today was not the day to do this. If you want to do it – (Agar chache ke puttar ne keh diya hai ki t-shirt chahiye kohli ki) if your uncle’s son has asked you to get Kohli’s shirt – then do it after the game in the dressing room,” Wasim Akram said.

Babar acknowledged the mistakes of Pakistan in the match. “We started well. Good partnership between me and Imam. We wanted to play normal cricket (me and Rizwan). Suddenly we had a collapse and didn’t finish well. The way we started, wanted to target 280-290. With the new ball we are not up to the mark. The way Rohit is playing – he played an outstanding innings,” said Babar in press conference.

We’ve got 6 individuals who can do the job with the ball – Rohit Sharma

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma praised the efforts of his bowlers, who played a key role in India’s win. “The bowlers were the ones today as well who set the game up for us. I don’t think it was a 190 pitch. At one stage we were looking at 280. The way they showed grit says a lot. That is something we pride ourselves in. Whoever gets the ball does the job,” said Rohit.

Rohit said that India has many bowlers who can do the job with the ball. Rohit said that it is his job to rotate the bowlers well. “We’ve got 6 individuals who can do the job with the ball. My job as a captain is important there as well. It’s to read the conditions and figure out who’s the right guy to do the job,” concluded Rohit.
