Latest Cricket News: ‘Sachin Paaji Played Shoaib Akhtar Like A Spinner’ – Says S Sreesanth

Meanwhile, former India fast bowler S Sreesanth went on to react to the recent Twitter exchange between Shoaib Akhtar and Sachin Tendulkar, during a chat with Sportskeeda. Before the India-Pakistan clash in Ahmedabad, Akhtar had posted a picture on Twitter that displayed him celebrating Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket, back in the 1999 series. Akhtar shared the provoking visual with a caption directed to motivate the Pakistan team.

Pakistan, however, was thrashed by India by 7 wickets in Ahmedabad which triggered a savage response from Sachin Tendulkar. Following India’s win over the Men In Green, Tendulkar took to Twitter and responded to Akhtar in his own style.

While reacting to the exact episode, S Sreesanth had some advice for Shoaib Akhtar. Sreesanth stated that the Pakistan speedster has dismissed Tendulkar on very few occasions and the Mumbaikar has dominated him at large.

S Sreesanth said “Shoaib Bhai why do you always write like this where we can give back easily? He has dismissed Sachin Paaji once here and there. But there have been times when Sachin Paaji has played Shoaib Akhtar like a spinner. I am your big fan, but if you take a dig at Sachin Paaji, we won’t spare you.”
