Shoaib Akhtar calls himself 'Don of Cricket', gets trolled
Indian cricket fans roasted Shoaib Akhtar on social media platform Twitter after the former Pakistani fast bowler called himself the 'Don of Cricket'. Akhtar, who was one of the most lethal pacers ever produced by Men in Green, saw his tweet receive a negative response. Fans reminded him of the ICC World Cup 2003 match against India, when Sachin Tendulkar dominated him.
Don of Cricket!
Fans remind Shoaib of Sachin's heroics in 2003
Shoaib was sent on a leather hunt in the 2003 World Cup fixture against Men in Blue as Sachin amassed a 75-ball 98. India went on to win the match convincingly and keep their record against the Men in Green intact in the coveted event. Fans picked out the moment when Sachin schooled Shoaib and trolled the fast bowler.

False claims?
