Team India was knocked out of the 2022 Asia Cup after Pakistan defeated Afghanistan in Sharjah. Earlier, India lost to the Men in Green and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2022.
After India had lost to Sri Lanka in their second game, captain Rohit Sharma spoke to the media where he was asked about the end of the possible final between India and Pakistan.
Rohit hilariously replied, “Hoga na, kyun tension le rahe ho.” While the India skipper was trying to keep the atmosphere light, former Pakistan cricketer Sikander Bakht took a dig at the 35-year-old.
“Usko vaapis bhi jaana hai, usko pata hoga (He knew he will have to go back to India).”
Inzamam, who was also present on the show, defended Rohit’s statement.
“As a sportsman, I can understand what he is going through. What else could he have said? It was a difficult time for him.”
