As an Indian, I felt annoyed at how arrogant Bhaji (Harbajan) was at the show. Shoaib gave India all the chances and still backed his country and when he said if Pakistan made 200, Bhaji laughed and said who will make those runs. Seems like Pakistan were well on their way to make 200 if they played full 20 overs.

Indeed.. surely we respect cricket and game.. we Pakistanis know moral ethics.. Virat Dhoni are supremely amazing players.. However, Bajji disappointed me with his words he was trying to be Sehwag for this before match show.. and the result came even more worst in favour of Indian team as compare to CT2017...

[@86nabatat]

@@Kami02197 bro, the producers of the show probably pressure n require them to be that way, controversy n masala = TRP. Depends on what kinda show you goin up to. For example, expect nothing from shows that are named “Taakra” or “Maha Yudh” its effin cringe just the title of the shows. I really miss the so-called boring sports shows from back in the day that aired on Sky Sports n Ten Sports. Just plain cricket n no drama.

Knowledge of what to speak, when, where and how earns you respect. Hopefully Bhajji would have learnt something by now. That "walkover" statement was so uncanny from a player who represented our country in so many games. That just shows pure disrespect for the opposition/country. Fact is that Pakistan side were well prepared, played much better cricket that day and kept their cool to the end. We lost to a better team that day. Period.

Despite being ill-treated by the world cricket, despite being pushed down, despite having financial resources drying up, Pakistan Cricket Board continues to add to the game of cricket by offering class, talent, and unmatched energy. The collective heart of the boys in the team, PCB and all Pakistanis, continues to take the pain but keeps on fighting.
