Both India and Pakistan are currently busy playing the ongoing 20-20 World Cup 2022. However, Rohit Sharma and his men have managed to win two out of three matches so far. While Pakistan have managed to win one of the three matches. However, all Pakistani fans were praying for their arch-rival’s win against the Proteas.
But, the Men in blue failed to do so. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma made some blunders while fielding which might cost their team the match. After the match, many Pakistani fans blamed those players to miss such chances purposefully to hurt Pakistan’s chances. Now, regarding that, former Pakistani player, Salim Malik came up with a big accusation.
“I have my doubt tha India don’t like Pakistan” - Salim Malik
Speaking to 24 News HD after the Men in Green's loss in Perth, Salim Malik said that Rohit Sharma and his men might have lost that match purposefully to hurt Pakistan’s chances. He said the same after seeing the way India fielded in the match. He said: “India kabhi nahi chahega Pakistan aage jaaye (India will never want Pakistan to progress).”
Former Pakistani player also added: “Agar aaj Indian fielding thodi si behtar karta to match jeet jaate. Mera khayal hai sabse disappointing ye tha ki aaj India ne bahut gandi fielding kari. Ye catch chutne waale nahi hai (If India would have fielded better they might have won the match. India were really poor in the field those chances they missed were really easy).”
“Hamesha India-Pakistan ka rivalry rahi hai. Magar jo unjone fielding ki hai no doubt unhone shuruwaat mey kaafi try kar rahe they, josh dikha rahe they, magar jo fielding ki hai usmey mujhe thoda sa hai ki wo kabhi bhi Pakistan ko like nahi karte (There is always been a rivalry between India and Pakistan. They were showing passion and intent initially but the fielding was below par and I have my doubt tha India don’t like Pakistan)” Salim Malik concluded. However, Pakistan still have some chances to qualify for the semi-finals of the ongoing tournament if some other results go in favour of them.
