India are off to a flying start in Cricket World Cup 2023, winning all of their first 5 matches of the campaign, beating some big teams like Australia, Pakistan and New Zealand. After the Indian team secured a 4-wicket victory against the Kiwis in Dharamsala on Sunday, Pakistan great Shoaib Akhtar<\/a> made some bold comments, suggesting even the likes of Shubman Gill<\/a>, KL Rahul<\/a>, Rohit Sharma<\/a>, etc. are individually enough to get the better of the Kiwis in this World Cup.<\/p>\n

It was Virat Kohli<\/a> who led India’s run-chase, scoring 95 runs to take India home. Hailing the India superstar, Akhtar highlighted how pressure gets the best out of him.<\/p>\n

“He is someone who thrives under pressure. Pressure brings opportunities for him. And opportunities are scoring a hundred, playing match-winning knocks and getting followed on Instagram, and why not! This guy deserves it,” Akhtar was said on his YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Rawalpindi Express further made a few bold remarks saying players like Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, etc. would’ve been enough to tackle this New Zealand team.<\/p>\n

“Shubman Gill is enough for this New Zealand team. Had Rohit Sharma not got out casually, he is enough. If KL Rahul goes up the order to 3 or 4, even he is enough. India’s batting lineup is very lengthy.”<\/p>\n

“Everyone knows what Kohli did today, but Rahul also took the load. Suryakumar had also done so had he not got out,” he added.<\/p>\n

Akhtar also hailed Mohammed Shami<\/a> who was playing his first game of the tournament. Shami picked 5 wickets and was also named the player of the match.<\/p>\n

“But in ensuring that New Zealand don’t score 300-350, Shami played a big role. He was a bit expensive, but it’s okay since he dismissed five batters. He has shown his talent and India need to persist with the same bowling attack. They have a complete batting and bowling lineup. There is no way that India should not be winning the World Cup,” Akhtar asserted.<\/p>\n
