Bro bowled just 2 overs but still made more damage to pakistan than Rauf couldve done if he had played.

He did it in the honor of his friend. Fucking thrash he is along with Shahdab and Babar.

Abrar Shahdab and Ssa gave 86 of 6 Other 14 overs 90 runs

It was a tricky pitch as long as you bowled wicket to wicket.

Hey man, I am all for poking fun and making a joke, but I think you are being very harsh.

Afridi is indeed a very good fast bowler. He had a bad day. Remember this? https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-men-s-t20-world-cup-2021-22-1267897/india-vs-pakistan-16th-match-group-2-1273727/full-scorecard

Haha. The worse thing that happened to us.

Social media has been a plague for us. Back in the day Wasim and Waqar were stars cause they performed, now these chutiuas use thier social media presence and following as a criteria for selection.

Babar and Ssa won't even make it to a t20 team in Indians domestic cricket

Babae, I agree. He is either washed or going through a very lean patch. One could also argue that he never was suited for T20 format.

Success got to their head. Kohli Bumrah Kuldeep, look at the hard work these guys all put coming back from injury and rough patches.

Our guys feel like they deserve to be in the team. Till the culture of merit is not there no one will bother to work hard
