“I’m sorry, but you also have to accept your mistake”: Wasim Akram

Former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram accused media outlets, supporters, and social media platforms of announcing India as the World Cup winners ahead of Australia’s match. India was the favorite to win the championship for a record third time after winning a record ten straight games to advance to the tournament finals. However, what happened on November 19 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium crushed the hearts of a billion people. In the final, Australia’s skipper Pat Cummins surprised everyone by choosing to bowl instead than toss. That proved to be a pivotal point in the match and demonstrated the Australians’ tactical prowess.

It was inappropriate, according to Akram, to declare the Indian team as champions on social media and television while having high expectations for them. “Considering how brilliantly your squad performed during the tournament, I can see how difficult it will be for the country to move past it. They were consistent, winning ten straight games. However, the supporters, social media, and television networks have already contributed to India’s World Cup victory.

I apologize; you also acknowledge your error. Because they were playing so well, you raised people’s hopes. You’re not solely to blame. They were doing some excellent cricket. But it was reduced to a single poor game. Australia deserves praise,” he remarked.

The Indian supporters were exhorted by the renowned left-arm fast bowler to let go of the past and support their side in the forthcoming T20 World Cup in June 2024. “As a nation, you have to move on, there’s another World Cup coming in six months,” he stated.
