Veteran India opener Virender Sehwag pulled Shoaib Akhtar’s legs after Pakistan suffered an embarrassing batting collapse in the marquee clash in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The Pakistan batters produced a dismal batting performance at a jam-packed Narendra Modi Stadium and were dismissed for just 191 in 42.5 overs.
The Indian bowlers hunt in a pack to dismantle Pakistan’s batting line-up as from 155 for two, Pakistan collapsed to 191 all out.
