Wasim Akram mocks India’s critics after Rohit Sharma loses toss

Wasim Akram shared a noteworthy comment amidst the debate over Indian captain Rohit Sharma's coin tosses in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023.

In the ongoing World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first.

Akram expressed his sentiments, stating that he expects people to be content now that India lost the toss. However, he anticipates that critics will find new ways to raise questions, jokingly suggesting that some might attribute the loss to the coin landing on the sponsor's logo.

“I hope that people are satisfied after India lost the toss today. But I’m sure they will find a way to question this too. Some would say that the coin landed on the sponsor’s logo today which is why India lost the toss,” Akram said on a local TV channel.

Former Pakistani cricketer Sikandar Bakht had claimed that during the coin toss of the first semi-final between India and New Zealand, Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper, intentionally threw the coin far away to prevent New Zealand’s captain, Kane Williamson, from seeing the outcome.

A recent report from Fox Cricket had also cited a source from the New Zealand camp, indicating that Sharma's coin tosses had raised concerns within their team during the tournament.
